Pope Francis Condemns Legalization of Marijuana

I saw this go across the cbc ticker. I don't know if the vids will come up.

Good thing the pope condemns something that might help people with ptsd.



VATICAN CITY -- Pope Francis came out strongly against the legalization of recreational drugs on Friday. The pontiff told members of a drug enforcement conference meeting in Rome that even limited attempts to legalize recreational drugs "are not only highly questionable from a legislative standpoint, but they fail to produce the desired effects."

Francis has frequently railed against the "evil" of drug addiction and has met with addicts on several occasions. Just last month, Uruguay -- next door to Francis' native Argentina -- approved selling marijuana cigarettes in pharmacies, and recreational marijuana is legal in the U.S. states of Colorado and Washington.

ya fuck him and harper! should not allow religion to be involved in choices.

Not a good move...will alienate even more people.

But the Catholics drink at church. Hmmmmm.......

OH NO whatever shall we do? Another misinformed/uneducated person making false claims based on religion. I guess we're even though Francis as I don't buy into what the Catholic Church is selling.

didler fucks

This is pretty laughable, like most other things to do with organized religion. Drugs bad! Raping choir boys though, perfectly acceptable.

ahhh Religion.............. the real Root of all evil in this world

Lol bunch of pedophiles telling the world what they should and shouldn't do. Maybe they should clean up their own shit first.

and yet the bible says "god gives all plants baring seed"

Pope Francis can suck it.

Fuck that motherfucker and his entire homo-pedophile empowering organization.

There's a special place in hell for people like that.

/spit

I watched the video of that sick fuck speaking and WOW...

So many things he said go directly in the face of science. He talks about replacement drugs(methadone/suboxone) being evil and 'giving' into the problem itself. Suboxone saved my life, god didn't. Asshole.

He like many other leaders, are simply uninformed about the issue. Don't be quick to throw hateful comments at someone who doesn't know the whole picture. Once legalization grows around the world and the positive outcomes are finally realized, then leaders will rightfully come into the right side of the fight.

Trying to spell hypocrite...ok there got....again

??? really. religion is the root of all evil, wars, greed, power, and control. look at harper, hes religious. and just cause they don't know, don't mean anything! research, study, and stop fucking kids.
do NOT involve religion in anything we do. if you need to believe to get you threw life, that's your doing, in church or your own home. not in public. and should have nothing to do with others lives. imo
