To answer the question... I don’t think it is.
Matthew 15: 11-20. And yes I know this pertains to eating with dirty hands, not drug use
"Listen and understand. What goes into a man's mouth does not make him unclean, but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him unclean... Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and out of the body? But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man unclean. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man unclean."
IMO this means that, like all love, all evil comes from a mans heart.
I know there is a passage that basically says you can drink as long as you do not become enraged, because as stated above, violence and evil come from the heart. The peaceful feeling from marijuana is not evil (in and of itself). Again, the main point I'm trying to get at is that a mans heart is the only measure of evil, or lack of for that matter.
Also, try to keep your points to the word of God alone. If a preacher is baselessly against marijuana, that is his word, not God's.
