But Rbbi, I will say, I have a raging fever, so I suppose it's entirely possible that something you said went over my head. My apologies for not following, if that is the case.
For some believers, legalization is the only hurdle to recreational use (because they know they are no longer under the law of Moses).
Before we go any further, do we have any believers from the states with recreational use (Colorado, California, Massachusetts, Maine, Nevada, Alaska, Oregon, Washington & D.C)?
How do you feel about society's acceptance, and does it open the door or is it not a issue? How about your church - what's the message from the pulpit?
For me personally I don't care for legalization. I'm more about decriminalization.
I wouldn't be worrying about what men think about it, I'd be concerned over what G-d thought about it. Peace
I am not worried about nor do I believe in any Gods. I asked the question directed to Christian people as the title of this thread is a Christian prespective. I thought some Christians would inform me not to simply try to shut me up. Thanks for bringing me no close to an answer than I was before asking.

Excuse me? Where did I try to shut you up, as if I care what questions you ask? Ask away, but if you ask in a CHRISTIAN forum, then you have to be prepared (or not) to get Christian answers on the topic, even if they are not what you may or may not have had in mind. That should be a given. Peace

The topic is what is a Christian prespective and I asked what it would be when Marijuana is legal, for both medicinal and recreational use in Canada and you told me to not worry about what man cares worry about what God cares. No, I was asking what Christians think would be God's thought on if it would be a sin or not. I asked in the Christianity forum because that is exactly what the subject heading states. I asked for a Christian prespective hoping to get some answers from Christians. As far as I am concerned yours was not an answer as if I answered it with how God would care I would get Badlander's prespective. If that is the case then I guess God would say that like alcohol, it would be fine in moderation. But then why would anyone ask a Christian any question if they have to make up their own answer?
So Rabbi and everyone else, what is the Christian prespective for countries where it is perfectly legal and regulated and is that different from where it is illegal. Just honest curiosity on a topic posted by some here.

And again, MY perspective is, regardless of what MAN says is legal or not, good or bad, as always, I would be more concerned with G-d thinks about it. I do understand that if you're not a Christian that seems like no answer at all to you, but to some Christians (me being one of them), it is THE answer, and the ONLY answer. I'm not trying to offend or deflect, this is really how I feel. Peace

Badlander, I would gather from other posts in the thread, that there are some, like Rbbi, who think it's wrong whether it's legal or not. There are others who don't' think it's wrong. It's a mixed bag.
Not being a Christian, my opinion isn't what you asked for, so I won't muddy the waters.

It's not that big of an issue, unless you make it an issue, having an intimate relationship and a glass of wine isn't a problem to be solved. Neither is smoking a joint - if it benefits the individual or those who partake in moderation.

It's only an issue to those that know that there is a spirit behind it. Those that don't, can have fellowship with it, if they want to. Either we want our eyes opened to the truth, or we want to coddle flesh; it's one or the other. Peace
