Here’s an honest question: Are Peruvian Mormons allowed to use marijuana?
Peruvian law, as i understand it, allows the possession of up to a certain amount of marijuana for personal use. This means there’s no illegality involved if an individual grows their own (as opposed to purchasing it from someone who presumably has a larger amount available, since that would introduce some illegality into the process). However, the Word of Wisdom, by relatively recent tradition, includes a prohibition on illegal (or illicit) drugs. If it’s not illegal, is it allowed?
(And yes, i know that the prohibition is sometimes described as forbidding “harmful” drugs, but i haven’t seen that ever get defined rigorously anywhere—not to mention that there’s an open question on how dangerous, by whatever definition, marijuana-laced brownies might be in comparison with something like, say, overeating.)
Anyway, i suspect the answer is (a very firm) no, but i’m curious what the basis for it would be.

Homegrown and small quantities still produce mind-altering and negative effects. I suppose that's the rationale.
Right—but so do sugar and butter. That’s why i’m wondering.
