this use OPENS us up to demonic influence and pulls us AWAY from God no matter what the context these drugs are used in.

Scripture doesn't say that, nor does my observation and experience confirm that.

It's common sense based on scripture. Did Jesus do drugs? Did Jesus advocate doing drugs? Did Jesus say "Hey bros let's smoke a little weed to experience God?"

No..in context it's the opposite. God is clearly against the notion that his people would act like those around them. And one of the false ideas around is that drug use is "harmless". There's a good reason why God called out drug use specifically in scripture. Drug use is as old as mankind except in the past it was little understood how it worked. As a result power hungry people used drugs to build a following or wow the people around them. It's much the same way today.

And yes, my experience confirms it. When I did drugs I would never have thought in a million years that it was "wrong". But if we take the actions of Jesus and the words of scripture seriously it's patently obvious.
