I was just wondering if smoking weed was bad karma or good karma or neither?

When I piss, how many times can I shake it before jesus considers it technically "playing with it"?

Hurting people is bad karma, directly or indirectly, plants are here for humanity to use respectfully, so is the earth and the animals.

Although technically one of the five rules laypeople have to live by is to not consume substances that interfere with one's ability to be in control of themselves, or something like that. I think?

^ correct.
One must keep his mind clear. Mind altering substances are a no-no.

I believe that the most feasible view is if it helps you on your path (with no real negative consequences), it's all good

it really does depend... i mean if you just wanna get stoned for the hell of it then it is bad karma because you are not meant to have mind altering substances, yet if it helps you relax or something then i cant see anything wrong with it

Unless it clears ones mind? Then it would be bad karma NOT to use Mind altering substances.

No mind altering substances such as alcohol and weed will distort one's perception of what is going on. This prevents the person to follow the 8 fold path, specifically right action.

I still think 'right' actions are a matter of perspective.

Then it would come down to wether or not you think people on mild mind altering substances (alcohol, weed) will do things they wouldn't do normally, or if, like me, you think people just use alcohol and such as an excuse for behavior they know would be considered unacceptable.

you could say it depends on the persons intentions, while on a mind altering substance.
