Is It OK to Smoke the Herb of Genesis 1:29?
"And God said, behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth…." (Gen. 1:29) Does this mean that this herb is OK for Christians? And I am talking about the herb that you smoke.
God gives Adam and Eve seed-yielding plants and fruit trees for food. The herbs are for eating, not smoking.
Consider this also: the eternal principle behind the biblical command not to be drunk (Eph 5:18) is that we are not to become intoxicated with anything that would deprive us of self-control and the ability to be filled with (controlled by) the Spirit. Getting high is wrong for the same reason getting drunk is wrong.
Secondly, marijuana is illegal. Smoking weed is also wrong because the government—which is God's instrument (Rom. 13)—has laws against it.
So no. Any kind of herb that you would smoke is not OK.
