    Alcohol is a psychoactive drug as well, and obviously it is not inherently sinful.

    This is why I'm not as willing to make blanket judgments about marijuana for everybody. I think the jury is still out as to what exactly its health effects are. But even if it does... would we have to conclude that eating candy is inherently sinful because it's bad for you?

    Marijuana is definitely the wrong choice for me. But I'm not willing to make that choice for everybody.

          Cerebrum and I had a "heated" discussion on coffee the other day.

            Didn't think anyone had a problem with drinking coffee...

              Who won? Did you cream him, or was it half-and-half?

                I just voted "yes" in my own poll, just because nobody else did!

                  I kinda thought something was brewing between you two!
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      I just think it's disgusting, and I don't understand why anyone would willingly subject themselves to it.

                        I personally can't stand the taste either, but I'll occasionally have a cup if I need to keep myself awake on a long drive after barely getting any sleep.

                          Did you only try black coffee? Might want to try it with cream and sugar

                            I put in quite a bit of sugar, started to taste like water that had dissolved oyster crackers in it. The "caffe latte" thing just tasted bitter, regardless how much sugar you put in.

                              cream helps.

                                I've acquired a taste for it, but I still almost never drink it if I'm not trying to stay awake. I usually drink it black & bitter, though I'll add some sugar if I need to wake up immediately (since the effect of caffeine takes a little while to hit).
