Bible Question: Is there a more clear verse in the bible that speaks specifically against marijuana use? |
Bible Answer: Dear Pris, Greetings in Jesus' name! The above verse speaks against getting drunk, instead be filled with the Spirit of God. Marijuana is not mentioned in Scripture. Are you trying to justify the use of marijuana, or to discourage someone from using it? Anyone who knows the Lord Jesus will have no need of euphoria, we have eternal life! Except for certain medicinal uses, marjuana use is just another form of drunkeness, and considered foolishness. My own experience with those that are users is that it gives a false sense of well-being, and can impair judgement and reflexes. Those that tell you different are either deceived or deceivers, maybe both! Blessings and peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
