[PieterCasparzen]

I can't find the Commandment that says, "Thous shalt not smoke pot - but alcohol is OK."

Drunkenness, the state of being intoxicated, that's what the Bible exhorts against.

The Bible is quite clear that alcoholic drinks are fine as long as one does not get drunk.

Wine is partaken of at the Lord's table.

Drug users hate to face the truth; they prefer that their minds be under the influence of their drugs as opposed to the influence of the Holy Spirit.

I used to get drunk from time to time and thought nothing was wrong with doing that; after my conversion to Christ, it became obvious that I needed to place how the Bible tells me to live over how I used to live. It was the Holy Spirit that changed my desires; I can claim no credit for doing so.

By "drunk" are you using the ordinary secular meaning, which excludes moderate effect (such as 'relaxation')? If so, then use of other drugs to that degree is likewise not contrary to the Bible.

Or if you include any degree of effect in "drunk," then should the "bigger stick" of government appealed to by the original poster be brought to bear against being to any degree affected by alcohol?
