VATICAN CITY (Worthy News)– Pope Francis condemned the legalization of recreational drugs, according to USA Today.

Francis told delegates at a drug-enforcement conference in Rome that attempts to legalize recreational drugs were not only highly questionable, but ineffective. Further, providing addicts with drugs doesn't address their problems, but instead surrenders to their addictions.

"Let me state this in the clearest terms possible: the problem of drug use is not solved with drugs," said Francis.
