Marijuana use will still be a sin after becoming legal, bishops say

Smoke rises during the annual marijuana rally on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, April 20. Msgr. Frank Leo, general secretary of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, says with the exception of cannabis use for medicinal purposes, consuming marijuana violates the virtue of temperance and should be avoided.
