Actually they can't smoke weed, I used to hang out with an Amish guy named Dave in the midwest when I lived on a farm. Smoking weed was against his religion and he told me the one time he tried it he panicked and ended up praying for the rest of the night. Amish Dave could drink a LOT of fucking whiskey though, he was honestly a helluva guy.
Every single large group of amish has their own separate rules. There really is no singular group of "amish" people with the same set of rules. There are hundreds of groups, each with their own rules. I guarantee that some of them can smoke weed.
There's an exception to everything, but let's not let that impede understanding. On the whole, they don't smoke weed. The Amish folks in this photo likely don't smoke, and just justify selling it to other, less-godly people to raise money for their community.
I honestly couldn't tell you, it's just what I was told. But just like 50-60 years ago a lot of the USA was also very stigmatized against pot while being alcoholics
I saw one riding an electric scooter that looked just like the ones they normally had. Bro was hitting 30mph going up hill without a single foot touching pavement.
