Go ahead and eat all the GMO corn, drink up the  fluoride city water, and eat all the steroided beef,  
God did not make those things.
Legalizing MJ would give us "organic" MJ.

My comments in bold.
I am neither a spartan or a non-functioning old man, but when I tried smoking MJ, twice, it did nothing to me, absolutely nothing.

I guess you didn't actually read it (or comprehend).  Cocaine has an extremely high risk of addicition and would therefore fall under that prohibition.

Secondly, here you go again with the "just" a venial sin garbage.  Nobody's advocating venial sin.  Jone says that it's venial if there's no proportionate justification, but no sin at all if there's proportioniate justification.  So, if you could take cocaine without the risk of addiction (not possible, from what I understand), and it didn't compromise your reason, and you needed it to get your work done, yes, it would be justifiable.
Any young man that reads Jone and what you write will conclude that it is no big deal to smoke dope "recreationally". There is more to life than what that book says, which is not much. A normal person that reads Jone will  know less than they did before they sought it out. But you do not see that because you think that Jone is the end all be all. I am sorry, but Jone clarifies nothing for the average Joe on the street, 99.99 percent of the world.

Cocaine has the same risk of addiction as MJ, it can be easily used in moderation, one line and a tired husband is off to the clubs to dance with his wife. If todays MJ is legal, so can Cocaine be made legal and so can Hashish which also can also be used "in moderation". Once you open that pandoras box that it can be used recreationally in "moderation", the list of approved equivalents will never end.

God did not make the MJ they are selling today, just the same as God did not make miniature Dobermans and all the other breeds.

The people that eat organic food are few, the market is miniscule compared to non-organic, one does not legalize MJ because like 1% will be organic.

You are wanting to legalize something which is destructive to society, it is already bad enough (like 60% of Americans are on some kind of a mind altering substance). Catholics who promote MJ for recreational use should be an oxymoron.

Pax Vobis commented: Yep, I have known many people over the years who smoke.  I currently know a few lawyers who use it to unwind, instead of alcohol.  In my experience, some kids go overboard, some don't.  Some turn into hippies, some don't.  Some grow out of it and some don't.  It depends on the person.

Any of them practicing Catholics with children who live the faith? (P.S. - I hope you are not impressed with a person just because he is a lawyer?)
Does anyone have an example of a real Catholic with children that smokes MJ recreationally and has had no problems with his children living with it?
