Not all christians contradict themselves. In fact I would say there is no direct contradiction.
Rastafarians smoke marijuana (edit: This was a pretty sweeping staement .. some rastafarians smoke ... same with pretty much every type of christian I'd guess). I personally know a couple of christians who smoke.
I believe the opposition arises in that the bible commands you to treat your body as a temple (If you want direct sources ask Digi ,she'll know ,probaly several other christians on here as well). Smoking weed is harmful so it could be seen as bad in that it could damage the "temple".
Of course you could argue that if you ate it you bypassed smoking it and so there was no problem. I suppose against that ,though, you could say that it had an effect on mental health etc.
I believe that sikhism ,or hinduism (c'mon ,I have no idea what day it is ,don't ask me to be specific) prohibit smoking.. but you could still legitimately eat it ... I'm not entirely sure about that ...
It's all based on interpretation ,you could theoretically make the bible agree to anything or disagree to anything ... I may try that .. hmm....
