Morals or Money

     
        Recently the venture capital firm, which is an investor in Facebook and a co-founder in PayPal, invested millions of dollars

 in a marijuana company. Most companies are leaning toward more beneficial investments for the world than “sinful companies.” But is smoking weed sinful? Is it morally wrong? First of all if it’s against the law it’s obviously a sin to partake in, but what about Colorado where it’s legal? Then is it morally wrong? Does marijuana benefit our health, or does it corrupt our minds? These are all hard questions to answer. I think marijuana can medically be helpful, but there are always people who will corrupt it for something different to make them feel good, and that’s when it becomes morally wrong. It is also a personal conviction with most people, same with drinking or smoking cigarettes. Most people would say it is unethical to smoke weed, as well as invest in a company that sells it for recreational use. Part of me wants to disagree and say no its fine to invest in a company for something you disagree with, as long as you're making money. But that's not right, because if you're investing in a company you are supporting them, it would be the same thing if someone invested in a prostitution organization but didn't believe it was right. So it obviously is wrong to invest in a marijuana company if you do not fully support them. But it is their choice and their money, I just think there's many other things that could better benefit society than drugs.
