When a joint is to my mouth I am smoking it and surely not possessing it because it is not mine
Ahhh yes, and I'm sure you and every drug dealer in Texas will be believed when you say, "But it's not mine!"

I did take the liberty of looking the Texas law up and possession is a 180 day jailed offense and a $2,000 fine for up to 2oz.

I also looked up the definition of possession in cases of drugs, alcohol, etc... It's defined as "knowingly or intentionally". You'd fit both.
A kid tricked by friends, or a kid that had friends sneak alcohol into without their knowledge... Get passes because it wasn't "knowingly or intentionally" involved in it.

I am not tricked by friends, and a first time possession case is 10 days in jail, Ive been convicted of 3 so my next one would be a felony. Like I said I dont possess it in public so that is not the issue. Thanks for your input brother.

There's no provision for "in public"...
Cops can smell it and have full authority to search your house on probable cause.

It seems to me you are starting to defend it. It's illegal. Your defense is that it's not "in public"... Doesn't matter, it's still illegal.

Reference again, Romans 13. Submission to authorities.

Whoa Devon... careful buddy... I wouldn't even be around weed then... and realize this dude... just because it's the truth that it's not your weed... don't think that means anything to cops... because cops are just people and some people are liars...

For example... this one time I was listening to music in my computer speakers while I worked and my girl was sleeping and I hear "Bang Bang Bang" on the door... I go to the door and open it and the cops are standing there and they're all, "You're having a party" and I was like, "No I'm not... look around... it's just me and my girlfriend's sleeping" and they're all, "Well we're writing you a first time offense" I was like, "An offense for what? there's no one here... I'll go to court and fight it" ... then the pig was all, "If you go to court I'll say I was outside with the windows rolled up and the engine running and I could hear your music" I was like, "Epic... thanks for making me feels safe"

So don't rely on the cops doing what's right... guaranteed if you get popped with your friends and they have weed they'll wack you all on possession charges and since you have a prior record you'll be screwed for sure...

So be safe brother... don't gamble getting a felony and getting locked in a cage over weed... shiz aint worth it...

And if you do see it as worth it... move to Cali... where everyone's high... haha

Are Christians lawbreakers? It is illegal in the USA. You have to deal with lawbreakers to obtain it. You're asking for trouble.

Okay, I have verses floating on my mind about this, 'what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness.... Wherefore come out from among them and be ye seperate saith the Lord.'

I was thinking what if i had headphones on listening to music and just smoke their weed and dont have fellowship with them.

Time to experiment and listen to God for the answer.

Is there anyone on here who use to smoke weed and quit and would like to share why?

That's why, if you have a phone with the capability, and you know that's coming... Turn on the recorder.
Most cops are OK but some are crooked people and that's exactly why you record it.
Don't tell them you record it, either. Let them lie, accept the ticket, and take it to court to get it all on the record and get his butt fired.
It also means anything the cop claims against you will be thrown out the window because you've got proof he's a liar.

Doesn't matter. It's possession. Defined by the authorities. Weather or not you agree with their definition makes no difference. It's possession of an illegal substance.
You're openly violating, "Submission to authorities".

Time to experiment and listen to God for the answer.
Yes, teasing and testing God has always worked out well for people.

Lol its all good texus, im listening to the Spirit to find out if it is wrong once and for all, so I dont just go off and on smoking weed not knowing the truth. I thank you for your numerous posts with the same input but further posts about submission to authorities are not neccasary.

The truth: submission to authorities.

You're ignoring Scripture what else do you expect anyone to say? Words of encouragement? "Yeah, keep doing illegal stuff, just ignore God's Word, that's what God wants you to do!"

Im not ignoring his word I know the law, and it is legal to possess weed in your own home, and if a policeman came to arrest me id submit to him.

So now you backtrack on "it's legal to posses in your own home" and now... It's just legal if you aren't buying or selling it.

It's still considered possession by Texas state law, and cops don't need a warrant to search your house if they smell it, either.
