I live in Pennsylvania. Years ago, the state government initiated a huge public relations effort to convince the voters that legalizing casino gambling (e.g. The Sands Casino complex in Bethlehem, Pa) would solve all the state's budget problems forevermore. Didn't work.

Now, having legalized medical marijuana last year, they are already talking about legalizing this drug completely and eliminating all penalties for personal use.

This is going to degrade our civilization all the more,and I would not want to stand before God and try to explain how I tried to profit from the destruction of His creation.

If you want to invest, invest in things that build society, not in things that destroy it.

Amen to that. I work hard for my money and I thought number one that the moral ground for this was soft. For me it’s illegal in our country and therefore not a viable investment strategy. To be fair with my friends however, I hadn’t thought to ask if they’ve invested in foreign stocks or US stocks. I’ll get more info next time we meet.

I would be really uncomfortable telling my daughters, who I pride myself on raising in good Christian fashion, that I’ve invested in something illegal in our country. That’s like investing in the porn industry. I only pondered the thought to see if I was missing the boat on something coming down the line. If it were legal one would have to ask the question, What would GOD think of this?
