Is smoking a sin?

CGTennis123 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-16-2005, 11:55 PM

I've heard some different opinions about this but is smoking weed really a sin? Because harming your body in any way is a sin and everyone knows that smoking anything isn't good for your lungs. But then again occasional use doesn't harm your lungs at all. So could it be that abusing weed and smoking it every day is a sin and just smoking it occasionaly isn't a sin? What are your thoughts on this?

No, I dont think so. Im not christian and follow those tenemants but if we were going to be labeling things as sins smoking marijuana would be pretty far down on the list. As for harming the lungs, smoking through a water bong signifigantly lowers the amount of impurities that enter the body - there have been studies at MIT that prove this. Vaporizing the weed doesnt let any of the 'smoke' byproducts enter your body, just the thc, hence the different buzz. Cigarettes are signifigantly more detrimental to you health as is caffeine, so the long and the short of it is; if you are mormon or amish you might want to use a vaporizer otherwise your fine.

Yea, it really depends who you ask. I think most world religions are against altering conscience.

Yeah, I'm a christian, and if my memory serves me right, the bible says that god gave us all the herbs and spices to use. Now, here is the question, weed is an herb right?! So I guess god gave is weed to use?!

God gave us the herbs "for meat" (or for food)...

Do a search. This question's been asked about a million times.

I go to a catholic school and my religion teacher (who is also a prriest) takes a smoke break every lunch or so. He smokes cigarettes. So if it is a sin then that priest is screwed..

I'm an atheist too, but if there was a god, he'd want us to be happy, right? so if using something that He put on this earth, which doesn't hurt you (and actually has medicinal benefits) and makes you happy would make him mad, than that's a god that I wouldn't wanna worship.

but that's just me.

LOL - sounds like a priest to me... And yeah... Most priests are screwed btw.

So then, by that logic, we should smoke everything that grows?

Hold on... I'm about to go pack a bong of oregeno and basil... Or better yet, some poison nightshade...

My point is this: Just because it grows wild, doesn't mean we're supposed to smoke it.
