About this sermon
The Biden Administration's plan to reclassify marijuana as a less-dangerous drug is seen as an election-year move to try and win young voters. This comes just weeks after the president canceled student loans for more than 200,000 borrowers. The move on marijuana is drawing concern in some corners. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that the use of drugs "inflicts very grave damage on human health and life. And their use, except on strictly therapeutic grounds is a grave offense." Recovering addicts are also speaking out. Film producer and executive director of the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, Jim Wahlberg, is a Catholic and recovering addict who has worked in addiction recovery for nearly 30 years. Wahlberg shares his thoughts on the DEA and Biden Administration moving towards reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug. While this move would not completely legalize recreational use, it would take steps in that direction. Wahlberg discusses some of the potential side effects of relaxing these laws. The other side will argue that shifting federal resources toward combating fentanyl and opioids is more important right now. Wahlberg explains his thoughts on that. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
