68. Should Marijuana Be Legal?
Is it really so bad to be legalized? A majority of Americans support the legalization of marijuana for various reasons...should Christians support it as well?
On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through how the topic of the legalization of marijuana, specifically for recreational use. We look at Scriptures about sober-mindedness and how that ties in with facts and statistics regarding use of marijuana. A topic that many debate on, with some thinking it should always be illegal and others saying, "People are going to use it anyways...might as well tax and regulate it." Listen in to see where we land on the discussion!
