I have a severe anxiety disorder, why is it considered a sin for me to smoke weed

[Sashimi]

I don't know if it is a sin to smoke the green. It's just bad for you, health wise.

[jeffs]

Its not considered a sin. only a violation in law.

its because we have stupid drug laws and the government would rather get you hooked on something they regulate than something you could grow in your back yard....even if its a chemical solution over a natural remedy.

I have social anxiety as well but i dont smoke weed for that because it makes me paranoid when i am around non-weed smokers. but weed is nice to smoke regardless. its most definetly NOT a sin.

[Soldier]

well the bible tells us to obey the laws of the land unless they are against gods laws....so weed is illegal

u need to fast and pray and ask god to take this from u...

James 5:14
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

[SarahL]

Well.
Its illegal.
Period.

Whether you think it should be or not, you can't argue with the cold hard fact that weed, not used for medical stuff, like in Cali, is illegal.

[johnnyfettcakes]

Dude it's only considered a "sin" to smoke weed because church and state are so intertwined that illegal and immoral have become synonymous. And your shrink is the man.

[Wolfeblayde]

I know at least two people who use prescribed pot for medical conditions, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Unfortunately, the law doesn't see it the same way: Zoloft is legal, and pot isn't. And in this case, the guy with the badge holds all the winning cards.

Maybe one day the legal system and the medical system will catch up with each other. Until then, you pays your money and takes your chances.

It is not a sin. It is against the law.

Take it up with the "War on Drugs" not the bible.

[WAYF]

I do not believe that smoking weed is a sin. It's against the law in most of the world, but it is not a sin.

Interestingly enough, the bible says it's a sin to commit adultery, but are there people locked up in most countries for adultery?

And, btw, I hate that psychotropic drugs and the like are handed out like candy.
