Sin is transgression of the law. The law does not prohibit alcohol in all cases. In fact, God commands the use of wine in certain cases, and authorises the use of both wine and even strong drink in certain cases. This cannot be denied without denying the plain declarations of God Himself in the Bible.
Yet the Bible also denounces drunkenness, revellings, and excess due to intoxication, as things that will forfeit access to eternal life.
God is neither a prohibitionist, nor a libertine.
Cannabis may fall under the same general principles (as it is not directly addressed in Scripture) but likely may fall under prohibitions against witchcraft due to the nature of THC's peculiar effects. One thing we have to keep in mind is that while all things may be lawful they may not be expedient (smart) and we aren't supposed to be living by the rule of "What is the least I can get by with?" but rather "Father, what do YOU want me to do?"
