Hi guys,
I just joined here and saw this section for spirituality and thought I would post.
As many people know, a lot of Christians are against cannabis. They say, it is a gateway drug, it is harmful to your body and it against God's law. I fell into this belief for a long time.
It wasn't until recently that I began to question if weed was infact a sin. It started when I watched the documentary called "The Union", it was very easy to follow and I thought was very well paced for a documentary. It gave the facts quick and questioned both sides of the controversy.
What struck me the hardest was finding out that cannabis smoke alone is very safe and is in all honesty a natural drug. For a long time I have been using sleep aids that have side effects, but finding out that weed has almost no side effects has made me want to change.
I dont smoke it often, mostly when I cant sleep the odd night or when friends come over that also smoke weed. I believe in moderation, but that goes with a lot of other things as well.
Christians will also say that it is highly addictive, yet alcohol and caffeine are rated more addictive than cannabis. I myself don't feel the need every day to smoke it, so I guess that theory goes out the window.
What I find funny is Christians that are overweight or have to drink coffee every morning look down on people that smoke weed once and awhile, yet what is more addictive and doing more damage to your body?
Anyways, that is just how I feel and what I believe. I have read the entire bible as well and I am well versed in it. I can always study it more and I do not claim to have all the answers, but I think I have a firm grasp on what it says.
For what it is worth, I believe that using cannabis is not a sin and if it is not ruining your life, I see no problems with using it.
Also, from what I have been reading on the forums, most people here are very relaxed, helpful and friendly. I am looking forward to being a part of this community. Thanks for reading.

Seriously though, as long as you don't act like an asshole, others won't.
