The latest issue of Dabiq, the official magazine of the so-called state, includes the end of cannabis prohibition in a list of so-called «deviances» alongside pornography and feminism. It reads (hold on tight):

«The deviance exercised by the so-called «Brave New World» of America and Western Europe began by legalizing marijuana, bestiality, transsexuality, sodomy, pornography, feminism, and other demons, allowing the Christian pagans of Europe, America and Australia to surpass the number of crimes of all the miscreant nations that preceded them, including Sodom and Gomorrah.»

The 82-page booklet, released on Sunday, also includes a photo of a pro-legalization rally, calling the participants «heathens».

The faces of some participants, probably women, are blurred.

Later in the magazine, the authors praise the recent attacks in Orlando and Nice and criticize Westerners for their «hedonistic addictions and pagan doctrines» that «have made them slaves to false gods including their clergy, legislature and desires».

The magazine also contains an essay entitled «Why we hate you and why we fight you» and a portrait of Pope Francis titled «In the words of the enemy».
