Archbishop Luis Villalba of Tucuman in Argentina said this week that the legalization of drugs such as marijuana would not be helpful for addicts and would send the message that such drugs are safe.
“Legalizing drugs runs the risk of the sending the message that drugs are not harmful,” the archbishop explained. “The message sent with this decision is, it’s okay to take drugs, drugs are legal!” he warned during a youth pilgrimage.
