ROME – Earlier this month, Argentina’s President Alberto Fernandez said the country needs to have the debate over the legalization of recreational marijuana, a move the Catholic commission that works with addictions and drug dependency called “hypocrisy.” It’s hypocritical, the bishops’ conference commission wrote, to talk about the legalization of marijuana “in the context of poverty and destitution experienced by hundreds of thousands of adolescents and young people who cannot aspire to serious training or a decent job, the result of decades of ignoring it.”
