There may be objections to using Bible verses about alcohol to answer
questions about marijuana or other drugs but I think that the allowances for the
use of alcohol and the cautions about its abuse prove to be informative.
No longer drink only water, but use a little
wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities. (1 Timothy 5:23)
Give strong drink to him who is perishing, and
wine to those who are bitter of heart. Let him drink and forget his poverty, and
remember his misery no more. (Proverbs 31:6-7)
Wine is a mocker, Strong drink is a brawler,
and whoever is led astray by it is not wise. (Proverbs 20:1)
Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will
ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in
your hearts. And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ. And further, submit to one another out of reverence for
Christ. (Ephesians 5:18-21)
It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine
nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.
(Romans 14:21)
All things are lawful for me, but not all
things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. (1
Corinthians 10:23)
Personally, I have a need to be in control of
my being so much so that I stay away from pretty much everything. Not judging
anyone, but for me one glass of wine at Thanksgiving would be a lot for the whole
year – by the way I can’t even finish half a beer! I am such a light weight but
seriously, I have issues with side effects even with over the counter
medications. Even though I live in a state that has legalized recreational marijuana I don’t use it, but if a medical issue became untreatable I
would be open to trying medical cannabis.
Peace, Love and Light!
