Pope Says ‘Nope’ to Dope – Pope Condemns Legalization of Marijuana

The legalization of marijuana brings about a controversial national debate, and everybody has their own opinion regarding the matter. The latest man voicing his opinion about marijuana does so from Vatican City.

It comes as no surprise that Pope Francis would not be in favor of marijuana.

In a drug enforcement conference meeting in Rome on Friday, the Pope told members- that even limited attempts to legalize drugs for recreational purposes, “are not only highly questionable from a legislative standpoint, but they fail to produce desired effects.”

The Pope believes that the problem of widespread drug use is not solved by drugs. He has said that providing addicts with drugs does not solve anything, but is merely “a veiled means of surrendering to the phenomenon.”

Pope Francis has made clear his belief of the “evils” of drug addiction. Pope Francis has met with addicts on several occasions. In fact, he has spent the majority of his pastoral care to addicts.

Currently marijuana is legal in Argentina, in the form of marijuana cigarettes sold in pharmacies. In the United States, marijuana has been legalized in Washington state and Colorado. The debate continues to be argued nationwide. Oregon may be the next state, within this country, to put the matter up for vote this year.
