True Catholics are libertarians because politics should mirror the Church, and saving one's soul is based on PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.  A nanny state cannot force anyone to save their soul or to follow laws.

Even St Thomas Aquinas said that prostitution should be legal, but follow zoning laws, because no amount of govt regulation would ever stop it.  So you use zoning laws to regulate it to an isolated, rural part of the city which moral people can avoid. 

People who smoke MJ are gonna keep doing it, laws or not.  You might as well legalize it and make it safer. 
...and cheaper and more readily available to all.

What is the purpose of smoking MJ for recreation? To get stoned. Trads are fine with that. No problem. Enough said.

What's the purpose of alcohol?  Drukenness.
What's the purpose of ice cream?  Gluttony.
What's the purpose of a living room couch?  Slothfulness.
What's the purpose of a vacation?  Laziness.

This is the kind of logic which is applied to MJ and it leads to the heresies of Jansenism and Manichaeism, which is the error that natural things all lead to sin and temporal things are inherently wrong.

the same thing has been said about abortion, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, transgenderism, divorce, fornication, adultery, etc. Humans should not have any restrictions, right?

Apples-oranges.  Abortion, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, etc are inherently evil and cannot be accepted under any circuмstances.  MJ is not inherently evil and thus has different rules.
