I dipped my toes into this discussion somewhere...one of the threads...and quickly realized it wasn't going to be fruitful.
What better time than Lent to oppose those who arrogate to themselves the charism to read the interior forum of others?

LT projects his "leg spreader" life before 40 on others as Meg projects her home life on others.
LT rages about the sɛҳuąƖ proclivities of others while boasting of his "functionality" and younger wife.
LT and Meg pretend they can read the interior forum of others even though LT stated he can "know nothing about them."
LT is thankful for his family, but LT and Meg defecated on the thankfulness of others for their families.
LT is seriously disordered spiritually and sɛҳuąƖly. Meg is disordered psychologically and spiritually in her delusions about others' interior forum.

Nothing to pity, when one knows nothing about the person. Basically, there is no way to know anything about anyone here if they do not say anything about themselves. I am proud to post everything I've done since I came back to the Church, and all that God has done for me. So I'll do much more than just answer the four questions. Here is my Catholic bio, my heritage and my life since I came back to the Church:

At the age of 40, God brought me back to the Church, and almost directly to the SSPX and the trad mass. I never saw a Novus Ordo mass when I was young, for I left the Church before the N.O. existed and when I came back to the Church I only went like 5 times,  before I found the SSPX.

I came back at 40 years of age and 3 years later I met my future wife at mass when she showed up one day. I married her when I was in my late 40's and she was in her early 20's. God sent me not only a young beautiful looking wife, but also a trad Catholic that wanted what I wanted, 12 children. Unfortunately, she had problems at half a dozen, and that is where we are today. She is very organized, is a master chef, and she has been homeschooling the children from K to 12. Our children’s ages run from less than 8 to almost 21. They are all very happy children living in the outdoors on our farm, no cell phones, eating unbelievable food, and all of them with a great sense of humor. We have taught them to not be afraid to question anything we teach. The more questions children ask, the more one knows that they understand.

I was raised by my father and mother and worked with my father in the family business. In other words my Dad and I were together every day from the time I was born till the day he died. My grandfather did the same with my father, and he lived with me also from the day I was born till I was 40. He died when he was almost 101 and was in perfect health, he ate a big dinner, went to sleep and just didn't wake up the next day. My grandfather was the CEO of a company with 5000 employees, and my father the President of a company of 2000 employees. They lost everything, every penny, to communism in 1960, when I was just 6 years old, and they both came to this country and proceeded to work to do it all over again again. Incredible people! They were with me all day till they died, teaching me everything about life and how to teach my children.

My family heritage comes from a Catholic country, a Catholic culture, Spain, but like most Catholic cultures they do not really teach or live the faith, the faith is just something they do on Sunday for an hour. Being a Catholic culture however, almost all that they do and the way they behave, though they do not realize it, came from being a Catholic culture for like ever. Family is everything, and all the cousins and relatives live like across the street and grandparents teach them how things were and should be in the family. Grandparents are their best friend, after their parents, and the grandparents and parents, aunts and uncles, for the children, are their  TV, Internet, cell phone, movies, teaching them everything about life. THAT is what I am continuing with my family. I am proud of my family and everything we are doing.

Here I answer the questions:

Do you use MJ recreationally? No, I never used it recreationally. I did however use it as a tool for evil purposes when I was young and foolish, before I came back to the Church

Do you have daughters? Yes, more than 4

Do they know that you are Ok with them smoking MJ recreationally? I am not OK with its use and they know exactly why and any doubts or questions that they have, they have been taught from experience that they can come and ask both my wife and I.

Are they going out by themselves to see friends? No, they are chaperoned by my wife or I, same as my parents, my grandparents, and great grandparents were.

This is how it works:
Who cares?

To re-cap in short:

I am really surprised that there are even three people on CI that are defending recreational use of MJ for young people, even their daughters. But I should have known better because it happened also in the 1960's among Catholics when there were Catholic schools and only the Latin Mass, so why not now with so-called "trads".


Among adults there are few saved because of the sins of the flesh....With exception of those who die in childhood, most men will be damned. (St. Remigius of Rheims)
Use of MJ is not a sin of the flesh. 
Rather, it's use is encouraged by God in the bible for our benefit.

This is the epitome of how a woman argues:

1.  The above phrases (in parenthesis) have not been argued by anyone on CI, specifically, but LT inserts them into the argument to gain "popular" support, much like the modern media.
2.  LT doesn't argue like a man, rationally, but repeatedly inserts ideas and "buzz words" which he knows will cause an emotional agreement with his cause.  Another modern media tactic.
3.  LT refuses to acknowledge the logic of moral theologians on the issue and also is in capable of distinguishing between 'allowance' and 'encouragement'.
4.  etc, etc.  One could write a 10 page essay of the lack of logic and rationality in LT's posts.  I trust him as much as I trust a novus ordo bishop.  He has lost all integrity in my eyes.
