I'm not sure.

( My favorite little oldie is the one where the man and woman are smoking dope and someone knocks on the door, the guy goes to open it and a man walks in, the guy who has been smoking dope looks at him and says " i know what you want...you want to kill me" and then proceeds to blugeon him. Like weed makes you psycho and violent or something. that one is SO funny to me, have you ever seen anyone that has just smoked a joint even have the motivation to answer the door much less bludgeon a person to death! lol)

Well, I've seen people motivated enough to answer the door anyway. As for bludgeoning someone to death, it seems to me that drunks tend to be a lot more violent than potheads.

Except that scripture clearly condemns drunkenness, and is silent re drug use.

As long as you don't consider alcohol a drug. I think the condemnation of drunkenness can be extended to pretty much any inebriating substance.

Well, narcotics were known in biblical times--I mean, shrooms and the reefer have been around since mankind--yet the Bible does not address their use (or abuse) once. Alcohol is specified, and drunkenness explicitly condemned.

I would say that if booze is considered a drug, narcotics use could be defended biblically only because drinking in the right circumstance for the right reason is encouraged.

I agree with that. The only thing about legalizing marijuana would be that it would become like cigarettes. People could smoke it in the smoking sections of restaurants and it might be the smoke of choice in bars. How would you know how much you can smoke before you are considered inebriated? Wouldn't the second-hand smoke effect everyone else around, too? I have a hard enough time putting up with cigarette smoke at a nearby table at a restaurant or even being near the smoking section.

So what are everyones views on marijuana, politics, and the bible?
Do you think it should be legal?
Do you support medicinal use?
Recreational use?
Do you think marijuana is mentioned/used in the bible?
Do you think it is wrong all together?
And please elaborate on your view...

Legalize the whole she-bang.

Done it a few times; it's all right but not my poison of choice (prefer beer).

Recreational, medicinal, whatever...you want to get your cats high with secondhand, knock yourself out.

That I know of it's not mentioned explicitly in the Bible, maybe I've missed something though.

It's wrong when abused--I know plenty of people who can handle a joint here or there or even every day, and others who've gone so completely overboard that smoking bud has dominated their life and flushed it.

Tried it about 20 years ago, found it to be terribly over-rated, and haven't touched it since.
