I am glad that you asked. The answer is the same, and I post the scripture on which it is based. Thank you.
Ephesians 5:17-19 "So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual )songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord".
Being drunk and dissipated is not God's will for man, but that He be filled with the Spirit of God. It does not matter what the constitution says, but this is why man was created. Man was meant to be filled with the love of God through his spirit and worship God forever.
The tragedy is that so many more will take the "mess of pottage", through the intoxication these poisons promise, and miss eternal love and life through several generations if this is not checked..
FYI the lord does not set the rules for the country. It is the US constitution.
Thinking that the constitution overrides what God has said, one may be sadly mistaken when asked for an account of ones life before ones creator. Both nations and man will be accountable for all there actions in light of what God has said.
The truth be said, when before the creator, you do not want to try to justify yourself based on your own actions. Ones only plea is the blood of Christ and the only actions to mention are the ones he has done through you for rewards; all else is hay and stubble ready for the furnace rather than eternal love and eternal life.
So, you would agree then that the only reason pot is illegal, and alcohol is not, is because Jesus did not smoke pot?
The second part of your repsonse shows that you place greater emphasis in your life to the Bible, which is fine, that why we have freedom of religion. I, as an atheist, do not and believe the constitution as created in 1787 should govern our relationship with government. Render unto Caeser...etc.
Not everyone in this country believes in the same God. I even know many people that have found their current spirituality through the use of mind altering substances. Many other religions, even Native American religions have used these substances to become closer to their God(s). People are not dumb, and people know how to make good choices in their lives. You seem to have little faith in the will of man to do good and live fullfulling lives and avoid temptation.
Nothing there says we should imprison drinkers or pot smokers.
