I'm probably going to offend someone here. Let me just appologize up front and say that you can take quiet comfort that I'm going to hell.
I'm not Christian and I don't believe in Christian sin. However, from a Christian perspective.... this question kind of cracks me up. Where in the bible does it say that getting stoned using unnatural (as opposed to natural) substances is a sin? Is wine a sin? Jesus turned water into wine.... maybe only 'holy wine' is not sinful? Is it sinful to use medications that have been changed from their natural states (most of the time, the original chemical components were first utilized in herbs)? Is getting high simply sinful because it is pleasurable (that's the impression I'm often given)?
Who gets to decide? If a priest tells me that it's sinful, I should listen to him because he's a priest.... he has the robe and everything!

I'm not religous or anything but i do believe in certain things, and i know cocaine grows from the earth, opium, other drugs like that.. but you have to add certain things and do labor work to actually get your product. with weed you can just pick it from the wild and roast it or even eat it.. but what if all the research we've done and all the cross breeding and all the chemicals we put in the dirt and the super efficient lights and reflective walls are breaking some sort of code to marijuana, making it a sin to smoke weed. maybe as humans we are unlocking to many doors and are gonna end up somewhere we dont belong.
