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.

Interesting, I didn't know that even though it should be obvious lol. Thanks for the info :)

The no central authority is a huge part of what makes them Amish to start. People know the ultra religious part, they’re also super libertarian.
