IT'S NOT ABOUT WEED, IT'S ABOUT JUSTICE
Here's a subject you probably didn't expect a pastor to weigh-in on:
marijuana decriminalization.
Recently I have been privy to a string of conversations where people
express their concerns about recreational marijuana use becoming
legal. There are many people who see this as a symptom of moral
decline, believing that those who choose to use marijuana
recreationally are morally suspect and therefore they oppose
commercial recreational marijuana facilities opening in our town. Like
"dry counties" through the South hearkening back to the prohibition of
alcohol in the 20's, we will hang on to our anti-marijuana outlook for
a little while longer.
I too believe this is a moral issue.
