While most of my Christian brothers and sisters will disagree with me, I don't think marijuana is as dangerous as alcohol. I know that we get tired of hearing that comparison, but it is accurate. Actually James, marijuana is much worse than alcohol and ESPECIALLY for Christians.
Pot is insidious to ones spiritual life in that it smoking it generates "feelings" of spirituality that counterfeit true spirituality. Simply put, if one is smoking pot, they will never come to God because they're taking a shortcut to a stronger and more intense "spirituality". It is a type of spirituality they are accessing, but what it happening is that they are leaving themselves open to demonic influences, demonic spirituality, and Satan take advantage of that.
Potheads who think they are being "enlightened" or "inspired" are...by Satan:
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Of course it is. This is also why I said in a previous post that it's the responsibility of the Church to act as the conscience of the community, and teach everyone why this is dangerous and why they shouldn't do it. It is not the job of the government to do so and the reason it's such a problem in the community is because the Church has abdicated some of its social responsibilities. I find it interesting and disheartening that many of my Christian brothers and sisters on FR automatically associate my opposition to government intervention with support for immorality.

no, they are the same issue. Don't elevate one above the other.
Pro 20:1 ¶ Wine [is] a mocker, strong drink [is] raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
the difficult thing for both is moderation.

Marijuana is a chemical warfare agent... it FEMINIZES men...

"True spirituality" has killed more men, women and children than marijuana.
