Any moral implication regarding marijuana use?

simple question.

simple question.

I regret prop 19 not passing out here in California.

Think about it. Legalize it and the government has one more thing that they can tax, plus save hundreds of millions of tax dollars by cutting all of those ATF jobs!

I never had the chance to try pot enough times to fully experience it but I don't think it is any worse than regular cigarettes in terms of harm to people who smoke it..

Not sure about smoking marijuana, but the early LDS Prophets used righteous hemp ropes made from that plant. Such ropes were essential in helping the pioneers make their way to the holy land, as well as Utah.

I understand marijuana is very beneficial for those experiencing nausea due to cancer. Sort of a natural homeopathic remedy that actually works. Legalizing marijuana would help correct our balance of trade deficit with Mexico, as well as put a dent in the wallet of those drug smuggling banditos bringing crime into the land of Jell-O and honey wheat germ.

Is smoking marijuana a moral issue? I don't see it that way, at all.

Or maybe your question isn't that simple, really?

You expect this from a government that actively assists in the opium trade in Afghanistan?

You're right.. I guess perhaps, the question would be: can marijuana use be considered a moral issue within the church? Or any wow issue for that matter?

"Thoughts on marijuana" is a moral issue?

How so?

Do you mean like... playing cards? Pants that button in the front rather than at the sides? Women wearing more than one set of earrings? Belly button studs? Soft drinks containing caffiene? Watching football on Sunday? Belonging to the Democrat or Republican political party? Plural marriage?

Well, considering this is a Mormonism discussion board, I think it is a moral issue here. Maybe not a moral issue with you, but that doesn't mean the issue doesn't quite obviously exist.

Well, then explain what you mean by a moral issue. Is drinking a beer a moral issue for you?

Oh, in advance of your answer, for which I am patiently awaiting:

My answer (morally) is that any female who can just get more and more beautiful, bigger and bigger, stickier and stickier, tastier and tastier, and stronger and stronger the longer she doesn't come in contact with the male sex of her breed (so to speak) is the type of woman we should be promoting in our communities.

That's my moral answer. Sin, in this case, is a very good thing.

Let's see what Jesus had to say about it.

Matthew 15:11:

Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
