Theres nothing that talks about marijuana directly in scripture. But getting drunk is a sin because it impairs your judgment which marijuana could do as well. I can't say it is definitely a sin because It's not written in scripture. So pray about it, and take those things above into consideration.
I do apologize if I seem rude but, what is there to pray about?
Ask God to see if He wants me to smoke marijuana or not? Have we lost our minds?
King Saul was rejected as King of Israel because he kept back some of the sheep of the Ammorites after the Israelites had defeated them. Then Saul said that he did so to offer them as sacrifices. You don't need to pray to see whether God wants you to do a worldly act. It's obvious that he doesn't.
Is smoking marijuana a sin? Yes! It plays with your mind and it destroys your body. As Susanna Wesley, the mother of the greater preacher John Wesley, once said, "whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off your relish of spiritual things; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself."
