Or is it 1 sin?
I wouldn't sweat about the pot. I haven't read the bible, but I've never heard about anything like "Thou shalt not torch a doob" being in it.

As for the pre-marital sex, I'd question an institution that makes a little nookie between consenting adults a sin, but doesn't put a prohibition on choir boys. They pretty much lose their moral authority on that one as far as I'm concerned.
