On December 17, 2010 Christian Coalition founder Pat Robinson stunned many when he stated a view that the liberal adversaries have been promoting. During his 700 Club broadcast aired on the Christian Broadcasting Network that day Dr. Robertson stated:
“We’re locking up people that have taken a couple puffs of marijuana and next thing you know they’ve got 10 years with mandatory sentences. These judges just say, they throw up their hands and say nothing we can do with these mandatory sentences. We’ve got to take a look at what we’re considering crimes and that’s one of ‘em.
I’m … I’m not exactly for the use of drugs, don’t get me wrong, but I just believe that criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possession of a few ounces of pot, that kinda thing it’s just, it’s costing us a fortune and it’s ruining young people. Young people go into prisons, they go in as youths and come out as hardened criminals. That’s not a good thing.”
After Dr. Robertson’s comments went viral CBN issued a statement claiming that Dr. Robertson does not support illegal drug use, nor does he support legalizing marijuana.
