Or another way to view that is that the church supports federal decriminalization."If doctor prescribed and sold through a licensed pharmacy" requires federal decriminalization. In other words, they don't support use for the foreseeable future.

Did they make any indication at all that they support federal decriminalization? Seems like the basic point was VOTE NO ON PROP 2.Or another way to view that is that the church supports federal decriminalization.
Out of curiosity, how would you have voted before the statement?
I have someone VERY close to me who has used marijuana to alleviate the effects of chemotherapy and they said it was the one thing that helped get them through day to day, post-treatment. I have someone else VERY close to me who had a blood clot in their brain a few years ago and one of the residual effects is extreme anxiety and migraines. This person had never tried marijuana until about a year ago and since trying it, the anxiety is almost non-existent and the migraines don't last as long. These two stories from my experience are enough to make me vote yes on any medical issue. I would much rather have someone using medical marijuana to treat pain and depression/anxiety than to have being prescribed opioids and antidepressants. Then again, maybe if I had money invested in Big Pharm, I would also be against Proposition 2.
Basically the church doesn't have a problem with medical marijuana they just have a problem with breaking the law of the US government right? Is that their stance on everything? Like if the federal government made it illegal to pray would the church suddenly want the followers to stop praying? (I know thats a far fetched hypothetical but still)Actually, one of the most interesting things about this to me is that the church specifically said in the announcement that marijuana when used for medical reasons and prescribed by a doctor, is NOT against church doctrine or policy. I had long assumed that would be the church's position, but have never actually seen it specifically stated before.
From https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/arti...alternative-utah-medical-marijuana-initiative
“The Church does not object to the medicinal use of marijuana, if doctor-prescribed, in dosage form, through a licensed pharmacy,” said Elder Jack N. Gerard of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
That's really interesting, babe. Haven't thought of it that way. Really gives me a new perspective on Prop 2.
Well, from that same webpage I linked to was this:Did they make any indication at all that they support federal decriminalization? Seems like the basic point was VOTE NO ON PROP 2.

I have no problem finding hundreds of good quality strains at great prices when I visit Colorado every so often FWIW.
Anyway, there has been growing support for medical Marijuana in the Utah Legislature, I think it could pass the Legislature this year. This because of, not in spite of, the statement from the folks down at 50 North temple. So whether Prop 2 is bad wording the Legislature has to fix, or a bad law the legislature repeals the legislature still has to be involved, so why not just step out of their way and let them decide it in February without Prop 2 being in the way?
Oh I have little doubt of that. Back in my day I was lucky to find a guy who had anything to sell that wasn't 30% stems and seeds. And it cost more back then too!We're living in a weed utopia. Don't let babe's weed scholar convince you otherwise. My guy now carries a dozen top shelf strains. Premium stuff. Ten years ago, if a dealer knew what strain he was selling, he'd be the king of SLC.
