Name: Jeremy Country: Title: Laws and Religion Comments: I think it should be noted that the law provides for religions to do what they believe is right. Whether something is legal or illegal should not be an overarching factor in a religious discussion. For example: as someone has already pointed out, abortion is legal in the U.S., but that doesn't change the church's stance on it. Likewise, whether marijuana is legal or not (and it is in places) the church should review its own doctrine on the matter. D&C 89:10-11 states: QUOTE 10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man— 11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving. Given that marijuana is not a chemically addictive substance, that it has health benefits (like the benefits it provides me as someone with PTSD), and is clearly an herb; it seems clear that the church should free its members (like me) to use this herb that god has ordained for our use.
