Is it normal im a christian and smoke pot?

Long story short I was raised a christian and am now 20. I developed moderate social anxiety like 4 years ago and started using pot last year. I've tried anti-depressants but they don't work. I've tried self-help techniques but I find them useless. I once got drunk and decided to hang myself in my backyard but failed to do so because I was too drunk and kept falling off the chair. This was before trying pot and anti-depressants when I thought to myself that I will always be like this. Pot is the only thing that has makes me feel like a normal person and makes life worth living. My parents still make me go to church because I live under their roof but I don't feel right going to church knowing that I use pot. My parents are strongly against drugs but don't know I smoke pot because I vape when they're asleep. I've prayed to God already before trying pot but I guess I didn't have faith in my prayers. I know my body is Gods temple. Anyways I need opinions as to wether I am right or wrong about using pot whilst going to church.

      If I still remember the verse, I could tell you that weed was in the bible as another form.

    Ever heard of medical marijuana? Why do u think that despite federal laws banning marijuana the individual states started allowing it? You're not doing it recreationally, ur doing it for a legitamate medical condition. Dont feel guilty. God put the marijuana plant in the world. It was a corrupt goverment that decided it should be banned bcuz of their own selfish agendas.

    I don't see why this wouldn't be normal. I don't smoke but I drink, and yes I believe in God. If you're a good person overall, that's all that matters.

    • Exactly. I don't smoke it all day long and neither do I go around causing trouble.

    I would say it isn't normal. Just because Christians are supposed to obey God and not do anything impure to their bodies. Like the bible says. I used to be a Christian, then realized I was tired of talking to an imaginary dude all the time. Not trying to bash anyone's faith at all, just sharing mine. (Or lack thereof) I'm an Atheist now, ever since I started smoking weed I've done a lot of contemplating and soul searching. Religion just doesn't make sense to me anymore. Keep toking up dude, just be careful of your rents. That wouldn't end well. Haha.

    Yup, I'm a Christian and I smoke pot. It gives me some crazy revelations about the world when I do, and if God put it on the Earth, I'm gonna smoke it.

    I was raised in a Christian home too I started smoking weed 12 years old and did all through school up to 24, i'm 26 now and haven't touched it scince, thing is I wasn't really a Christian until I made the choice for myself I got baptised 19 years old and God kept his promise and I slowly went off weed. I tried to top myself twice and had a shit time trying to understand this life, thing is with God is we need to want a relationship with him before he
    helps us other wise there is no point in calling ourselves Christians, God loves you he's just waiting for you to make the right choices.

      "Thou shall not get blazed with steven in the attic"

    Some of my best prayers come out when I'm high.

    No worries, the vap isn't harming your temple and weed will be legal some day. It's much safer than anti-depressants, which should be illegal.

    It's not right to smoke...full stop. Let God help you in your shortfall as opposed to taking drugs. It's wrong, but we all do wrong things so simply pray that God will help you and guide you though this time. If you feel it is bad, then it's God who is speaking to your heart to convict you of your wrong doing.

      do u know what medical marijuana is? besides the government saying its illegal and classroom scare tactics, do u have any experience with marijuana? did u also know that the government ADMITS to only using drug laws to get rid of the hippies protesting against the vietnam war? i personally know people who smoke marijuana and people who drink, and its obvious alcohol creates much more turmoil than marijuana ! we've been lied to about the brain cell thing, (watch marijuana documentary "the union" on you tube for that explanation)

      anyway, this poor kid isnt even doing it recreationally, that would be medical marijuana! if he were taking pills for a medical condition would u be as condemning?

    The Only thing that's not normal here is that you think god is even real. If god was real he would be looking for a real crime not some guy enjoying What he created

    Though I am not really religious at all, it's definitely normal. Weed is a good thing all around, so you shouldn't be too worried about religious and personal freedoms intertwining.
