Pat Robertson: Drinkers And Pot Smokers Are 'Enslaved To Vegetables' [View all]



Televangelist Pat Robertson said on Monday that marijuana users and drinkers are "enslaved to vegetables."

Speaking on his Christian Broadcasting Network television show "The 700 Club," Robertson said that addiction is contrary to God's will, because man has dominion over "all the vegetables."

Robertson continued: “Cocaine is the product of a vegetable, alcohol is the product of a vegetable, marijuana is a vegetable. And yet, people are enslaved to vegetables."

“Why would you become a slave to a vegetable?" Robertson said. "Why? Why would you do it?"
