The bible seems to consider it murder only if it's another christian.

[if someone] has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, [...] you shall stone that man or woman to death with stones.

-Deuteronomy 17:2-5

If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife you embrace or your friend who is as your own soul entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ [...] you shall kill him. Your hand shall be first against him to put him to death.

-Deuteronomy 13:6-10

Right, that wasn't the right word there, but you get what I mean.

you shall stone that man or woman to death with stones

Pretty specific - I guess that closes the "get them high" loophole.

I hope you interpret "to death" as an euphemism in that case hah
