Where in the bible does it say I can't get high?

It only says you can%26#039;t get drunk, but not high. God made the plant so that man can enjoy it. Its a gift from god.

Where in the bible does it say I can%26#039;t get high?
Maybe when it talks about intoxication, it means all psychoactive drugs
Reply:It says your body is your temple. If that stuff kills brain cells and can cause lung bleeding and a bunch of other problems, I guess you are defiling your temple.
Reply:Question: %26quot;What does the Bible say about doing drugs?%26quot;











Answer: The Bible does not directly address any form of illicit drug use. There are no express prohibitions against cocaine, heroin, ecstasy (MDMA), or methamphetamines (Meth). There is no mention of marijuana, peyote, magic mushrooms, or acid (LSD). Nothing is said about huffing, snorting, dropping, smoking, shooting, licking, or any other method of ingestion. This is not to say, however, that recreational drug use is permissible. On the contrary, there are several very clear Biblical principles which place drug use well outside the realm of acceptable behavior.











To begin with, we are under a universal mandate to respect and obey the laws of the land (Deuteronomy 17:2; Ecclesiastes 8:2-5; Matthew 22:21; 23:2-3; Romans 13:1-7; Titus 3:1; 1 Peter 2:13-17; 2 Peter 2:9-11). The ONLY instance in which we are allowed to disobey the laws of the land is when the laws violate any divine imperatives (Daniel 3 and 6; Acts 5:29). There are no other exceptions to this rule. Contrary to popular belief, simply disagreeing with a law does not constitute a license for breaking that law.











Many have argued that marijuana, easily the most benign of the illicit drugs, does not warrant prohibition. They contend that smoking pot in defiance of the law is justifiable on these grounds and in light of (what they perceive to be) the hypocrisy of outlawing weed while allowing nicotine and alcohol consumption. Those who argue this point may be sincere in their conviction but they are mistaken nonetheless. Heartfelt disdain for the law does not justify impunity towards it, as our Lord Himself made clear. While rebuking the Pharisees for turning the Law of Moses into an excessively oppressive yoke, Christ still required His disciples to submit to their unfairly harsh demands (Matthew 23:1-36, especially 1-4). Dutiful submission to authority and patient perseverance through unjust suffering and/or perceived unfairness (1 Peter 2:18-23) is God’s high standard for us – even if that means having to abstain from weed in compliance with “unfair” legislation.
Reply:Russ,


The plant that you speak of is likely from satan long after GOD created this earth. There are a number of things that will cloud your thinking. If you want to do so then I certainly won%26#039;t stop you any more than your parents did. You have free will but GOD certainly didn%26#039;t tell you that you should go thru this life acting stupid as you probably will. HE expects HIS CHILDREN to support their families. OH... You probably didn%26#039;t read that either. That means that you would have to find a job and a spouse. But, that certainly wouldn%26#039;t fit in your lifestyle. Maybe you need to begin studying. OOps, I forgot... You probably can%26#039;t read either since you are using that plant based HIGH. Oh well... Maybe next week, or the week after, or the week after, or the week after...


Have a great whatever.

No it does not specifically mention smoking pot is wrong.


It does mention that we are forbidden to practice sorcery.


The greek word for sorcery is pharmakia which is where we get our word for drugs. So when doing drugs as a recreation to get high what you really doing is opening a door to the spirit world and you communicating with spirits that God doesnt want you to connect with. God gave you a brain to know right and wrong and gave you free will to choose. If you go against him you ultimately will end up in the lake of fire. So repent and dont smoke pot if you dont want to go there.





You are now without excuse and cant use the bible as defense God considers the plant you enjoy as an evil thing and it will be used by the Devil to bring your soul to hell if you continue!


As for medicinal use God considers that bull %26quot;dung%26quot; to!

The Bible does say to be filled with the Spirit, not with drink . . . close enough

Not only are we to submit to authority for submission’s sake, born-again Christians are further constrained by a mandate to live above reproach for the sake of the Gospel (1 Corinthians 10:32; 2 Corinthians 4:2; 6:3; Titus 2:1-8; 2 Peter 3:14). Needless to say, criminality is highly reproachable.
