Mark Driscoll has weighed in on Washington’s recent legalization of marijuana. As Driscolly as ever, he writes:
“Also, many will attempt to treat marijuana usage as analogous to alcohol. But while the Bible does speak of alcohol, it never mentions marijuana, which means the issue requires a great deal of consideration before arriving at a thoughtful Christian position.”
