"Obviously the standard of
judgment must be uniform throughout the Church, and local offices are not at
liberty to add other items to this list. However, there are many other
substances which have a harmful effect on the human body, though such particular
things are not specifically prohibited by the Word of Wisdom. Certainly
the partaking of cola drinks, though not included within the measuring standard
here set out, is in violation of the spirit of the Word of Wisdom. Harmful
drugs of any sort are in a like category."
-Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon
Doctrine, p. 845
