lol I'm prolly one of the rare concervative mormon marijuana users.
I think the reason why a lot of religions ban certain things, is because in certain incidents they were bad, or led too other bad things, so people speak out them agaisnt them completely.

For example, I find marijuana use fine, but I can see if someone is under the influence of it and goes driving and hits someone that it could be a problem. Thats how I make sense of the fact that my church looks down upon it, even though thats probably not the case.

Just because I personally smoke marijuana doesn't make me a liberal either. Their are many other subjects that would prevent me from this, such as gay marriage,abortion, etc.

In every group of people, they are some differences.
