Is using pot sinful for Catholics? In my opinion, it is. Grace builds on nature. It's undeniable that the general culture surrounding the use of pot is immoral, loose and destructive to the individual soul and society as a whole. Best to err on the side of caution and prudence. "Medicinal" pot use is the back door to legalizing pot for "recreation". Since, according to some, the church allows for the use of substances such as pot, this doesn't mean it must be allowed. It means in the strict sense it can be allowed. If the church allows the use of pot, then the use of it can be freely opposed. I oppose its use.
On the whole, it seems that none of the zealous "tolerators" of pot use smoke pot. Isn't that something. Some have jobs that test against its use. The military, civil service jobs test against the use of pot and none of the pot use "tolerators" can't/won't answer why this is. Try getting and keeping a CDL while using pot.
To LT and others there is no reason to second guess your convictions regarding pot use.

Unfortunately, it is given that it has been hammered into our heads for close to a century that "MJ bad" and "alcohol good" when both are on equal footing morally-speaking.

And I'm only on the moderation usage side of this because to say it's inherently sinful is untrue. I personally hate the "pot culture" and have seen several friends and acquaintances wreck their lives with it.

But if you examine WHY MJ was illegized, you will see that It should not have been.

I have seen several friends and acquaintances wreck their lives with alcohol or pain killers.

I'm assuming that LT is asking everyone if they smoke pot to either show that none of them really 'believe' it can be used in moderation since if they did they would be using it, or to argue that their lack of experience with it shows that they don't know what they're talking about. Either way, those are non-sequiturs. Someone can say that they believe it is lawful to fight in self defense and yet at the same time never do so even when justified. This is logically consistent, for that may be a better good one is pursuing. And lack of experience should hardly factor in since moral questions are guided by principles firstly. This is how priests can counsel about sɛҳuąƖ relationships even if they are virgins: they are guided by principles rather than experience.

Not once have I received good counsel from a priest about sɛҳuąƖ relationships. Most of the time they were dead wrong.

In my experience very few if any SSPX priests (that's where I go) can guide young people in matters of MJ, alcohol, self-abuse, pornography and pre-marital relations, because they have no personal experience whatsoever. That is why I see the young people leave and go into the world as soon as they are able. That is what happened in the 1960's when 80% of Americans went to mass and the Novus Ordo did not exist. The priest didn't have a clue how to deal with it. I see women counselors who never had any children, giving lectures about how to raise children, and college professors who have never had to use their theories in the real world, teaching students . They are only good for teaching those that know little, like children. "In the country of blind men, the one eyed man is a king".

If you have not smoked pot you can't know anything but what you read. If you have friends who smoke pot, that is one way to learn about the effects by seeing them and how they live. Do you have any experience with relatives and friends who smoke pot?

There are other ways to injest MJ than smoking it.

No, I judge them by their fruits, the young people they advised in the Catholic schools and in the confessional, they all lost the faith in the 1960's. I see the same today in my SSPX chapel. I spelled all that out earlier.

SO many other factors than priests destroying the faith in people, LT.
