Is smoking weed a sin? Although the Bible does not address marijuana directly, it does discuss other mind-altering drugs. Specifically, the Bible addresses the use of drugs in the book of Galatians:
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)
Corinthians 6:19-20:
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, 20, you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
1 Peter 1:13:
Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Titus 2:2
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
Long story sort i'll see most of you in hell.
there is a vast difference between drinking alcohol , and being a drunk
just as there is a vast difference between smoking a joint every now and then , and being stoned all day every day

It seems when I hang out with friends and go out with them.. it causes me to sin more.
And when Im crashing home.. everything seems spiritually healthier.
When I hang out with my girlfriend...
I lustfully think about her.. because shes gorgeous. And I'm also a horny teenager still.
When I'm with friends..
I curse, drink [ alot..], smoke and also lustfully think of the girls that are friends.
I stopped watching porn.. because I want to spiritually become stronger..
how a body builder works out everyday...
I stop watching porn everyday.. its so hard to sleep at night and every night.
I know I am the sinner, but it seems like society makes it alot harder for me....
even at church.. ever since our youth pastor left.. we have older pastors that don't really relate to us.. everyone during sermon look at their ipods.. and dose off.
i feel the parable of the slothful servant probably applies here
burying your head in the sand , and ignoring the world , doesnt make you a better man
dealing with your problems can tho .....
all you can do is your best
