my favorite clip from the holy smokes article below! Revered John Jackson of the Trinity United Church Christ in Gary, Indiana said, “I have had several people share with me privately, ‘Reverend, I smoke weed and I know I shouldn’t.’ I say, ‘Let me stop you right there. I don’t believe the God we serve is that small or petty to be concerned about you smoking weed. I don’t think God cares about that.’ I let them know that our God is too big to be concerned about somebody smoking a joint.” Another pastor, Reverend Edwin Sanders of the Metropolitan Interdenominational Church in Nashville, gave his view that drug users are not sinners but addicts, and, like anyone with a disease, they deserve compassion and treatment.
