no wonder cannibis sector crashed....Catholic bishops in British Columbia and Yukon have endorsed medical marijuana use, but condemned recreational pot smoking as contrary to the teachings of the church. The Post's Tyler Dawson writes that in a November letter, the bishops -- six from B.C. and one from Whitehorse -- warn that "the mere fact that an activity is made legal by the government does not automatically mean that it is morally acceptable." The letter, however, distinguishes between therapeutic uses, such as controlling for pain and nausea, and toking for fun. In the former, the letter states, impairment "can be accepted as a foreseen but unintended secondary effect of the drug's beneficial use." The bishops state, "When ... a drug is used merely to cause inebriation, it is sinful behaviour." This is not the first time Catholic leaders in Canada have condemned cannabis legalization. In June, when Bill C-45, the Cannabis Act, passed in Parliament, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote in a letter, which was also endorsed by the Chair of the Canadian Council of Imams, that legalization was "lamentable," and that it would have "disastrous effects for so many people."
