Hate Group Opposes Arkansas Weed Ballot Measure: Marijuana Makes It Hard To “See The Need For Christ”

The Christian Post reports:

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has joined an effort to stop the legalization of recreational marijuana in Arkansas through a ballot measure to be voted on next month. Huckabee, a Republican whose daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is the GOP nominee in the state’s upcoming gubernatorial election, recently appeared in a video produced by the Arkansas Family Council Action Committee advocating against the passage of Issue 4.

The advocacy group prepared a brief for pastors, which argues that marijuana use directly contradicts the teachings of Christianity. It contains a reference to Galatians 5:22-23, which extols the virtue of self-control. “Marijuana clouds our ability to perceive the world clearly, and it dulls our sense of urgency about what the disciples of Christ should be doing. It clouds a person’s senses and makes it more difficult for them to see the need for Christ.”
