To my knowledge, there are no mentions of drug use in the bible. But the bible mentions to follow the laws of the land, so if something's illegal, I'm inclined TO NOT do it. That's just me, though.
I'd say he'd be against it, since drugs of any kind, lower your free will. You are more likely to do things, and make different decisions high than when you aren't. And since it lowers your free will it lowers you as a human being looking in terms of your soul (intellect, free will) are apart of you. And since God created you perfect with ultimate free will, any thing that alters that makes you less human and changes the way he created you.
Well, I know the bible condemns alcohol use, [Ephesians 5:18] but I don't know about other drugs. That said, just because the "bible" condemns it doesn't mean that "god" condems it; we can't even be sure if this "god" exists (or if there is only one) so I think the assumption that a particular book somehow speaks for this "god" is questionable at best.
[QUOTE="matthayter700"]Well, I know the bible condemns alcohol useZackariel
It condemns alcohol abuse. Even Jesus drank.
I don't know about that part, (I'm guessing it was the case, though... last supper?) but it says "do not get drunk with wine"; so, at the very least, they're saying not to drink to get drunk. So if Jesus ever got drunk off the wine, that's basically another case of the bible contradicting itself.
i sometimes think the people who wrote the bible (i guess theyre the apostole guys?) yeah, they definitely were high tho i beleev in god! but its not like hes christian or buddhist or anything, hes just god
He created marijuana... so making it illegal is like banning nature.-Misanthropic-
He is testing your will - will you go against his rules and give in to your pleasure, or will you sumbit to god ;) You don't have to believe the above statement, but don't act as if making drugs a sin is some huge contradiction.

I do not indeed believe the above statement, as it was not out of broken will I initially tried marijuana.It was curiosity.Its in us all.
[QUOTE="Famiking"]In Islam - don't do drugs. Middle East is known for it's extremely harsh drug laws.Vandalvideo
It also has a long history as a drug culture. I mean opium and hasheesh are two of their primary exports, and hooka bars are common in most cities. Afghanistan is hardly the example of the most Islamic country. Probably the best example of an "Islamic" (more like just the Taliban's interest... meh, politicians will be politicians) state gone terribly wrong...

Will you satisfy the curiosity or submit to god then?

[QUOTE="Famiking"] Will you satisfy the curiosity or submit to god then?-Misanthropic-
I will submit to God, and satisfy my curiosity.As curiosity is not a sin. Doing drugs is (okay, maybe not in christianity *shrugs*, but I'm just speaking in general).
[QUOTE="Famiking"] Will you satisfy the curiosity or submit to god then?-Misanthropic-
I will submit to God, and satisfy my curiosity.As curiosity is not a sin.Some people are curious as to how it would feel to kill someone. Take the example of the 5 year old kid who killed his 2 year old sister (not sure if the ages are right) because he wanted to know how it would feel.

Lowering inhibitions sounds like increasing free will to me.

Marijuana aint a sin either dude.Its also not addicting... where in the bible does it specifically mention smoking pot is a sin? Unless your a muslim, in which I know a limited amount of the Qur'An

Ah yes, but if you have harmful curious thoughts, it is a sin to act upon them.
Not sure about what the Bible says, but the Vaisnava point of view is that drug use is a form of personal intoxication. Drug use(or any other form of intoxication) is a materialistic desire, and the more one stays intoxicated, the more trapped he/she becomes in the material world. Obviously, this doesn't apply to all Hindus, but some strict sects prohibit any form of drug use.

Have any studies?
You can easily go access the National Institute on Drug Abuse, which provides numerous links to studies on all of these criteria, and there are thosuands of articles floating around in the databases.
