I'm amazed at how far people will try to explain that ther particular behavior as being condoned by the Bible.
Come to think of it, I'm also amazed at how far people will go to try stretch Biblical verse to condemn the actions of another, but that's a another story for another time.
The homosexuals use a line in the Bible that says "Hyrum was ever a lover of David" and say that this meant David and Hyrum were homos. This weed-smoker one is just the latest and least greatest of the stretches.
I can just imagine a prophet of today going in and getting a prescription for heart medicine, it showing up in scripture somewhere, and some crack-head in 3000AD pointing to it to condone his addition to hyper-heroine (or whatever drug they'll abuse in the far future).
My advice on the matter is, do what you think best. If you have such a problem with guilt (a powerful tool of orthodoxy used to control the masses) see a shrink, don't compound it by trying to treat the symptom for doing backflips trying to fit your behavior with scripture.
Be a man, and sin, and pay the price, is what I always say. Trying to dodge karma is much more dangerous than the sin itself.
