I dont think labels for things really matter. I prefer to avoid labeling things as devil's things because it seems to promote ignorance than understanding. I personally dont like weed and i have my own justifications for my opinion.

I believe it was romans 12 that said everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial, meaning i can attempt to justify anything for myself but it isnt for the benefit of god. I can try to find loopholes in my beliefs to justify smoking weed but at a point im not doing it for god but im doing for myself. This is a question of permissibility vs beneficiality (unsure if word). If i no longer consider god as part of the equation, then it isnt really a christian answer. But now i need to determine if weed is beneficial or detrimental.

Now for me, next is how i came to my conclusion(abridged version). I will stem from god is love. I love god because god loves me. If i love god, my intents should be for his glory. One of the ways i can glorify god is to tell others of his love and encourage others to be loving. I imagine that if i smoke weed then people can easily dismiss my opinions because, just like acts 2, people will say "youre just high dude" or those who dont like weed will look down on me and refuse to listen. Being of a sober mind is required imo to properly understand god, to relay god's love to others, and properly guard myself from doing something wrong. Also i feel that if others are high then they wont be receptive to god's message or recieve it as a deformed idea.

I am not perfect but i strive to become a better person. Maybe someone through the love of god will justify smoking weed to connect with others but i cant see myself doing that. I feel that doing so will encourage others to smoke weed and i already established for myself that it doesnt help. One final thing is that i dont believe in condemning others for their actions but rather point them towards what i believe is correct but at the same time be open to question my own beliefs.
