The modern Christian church says getting intoxicated with anything is a "sin". This is based on the church's beliefs (the beliefs of man), and not on actual Scripture, or the teachings of Jesus Christ whom most modern day "Christians" claim to follow.
There is historical evidence to suggest that "the anointing with oil" that is mentioned in the Bible is referring to an oil infused with various herbs, including Cannabis that was absorbed through the skin.
I was raised in the Bible belt (West Texas), the worst type of people are there. Their mindset is, "If you don't believe as we do and hold the same values and morels as we do, then we will force you to, or we will persecute you."
If Jesus Christ were alive today the modern church would call him a pagan and a blasphemer and would seek the death penalty all over again.
