They (priests) were not trained and prepared for dealing with the drugs, sex, and pill, the "MJ, alcohol, self-abuse, pornography and pre-marital relations".

This is just a flawed view of how free will works and the limits of the Church to stop people from sinning. It's apparent that your personality is one of "blame everyone else first but not the individual (or yourself)". Everyone has the natural law written on their heart, everyone has free will, everyone has a DUTY to follow their conscience and KNOW their Faith. Those that sin, do so because of their own choice. Same for those that go to hell.

God will not allow anyone to blame the Church on Judgement Day. Sure, there were lukewarm priests in the 50s/60s/70s, but to be fair, MOST catholics of those days (parents, teachers, priests, etc) were lukewarm, which is why the accepted V2.

Grace is powerful enough to overcome bad advice, poor instruction and lukewarm superiors. It is infallible that God will not tempt us beyond our strength. Those that sinned, did so because of choice.

Please quote where I said the priest are the only ones to blame for what happened in the 1960's.

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.

MJ has been proven to cure cancer and other ailments. How much cheaper it would be and how many lives would be saved if it were legal. Keeping things prescription only doesn't stop pain pill adicts from getting it.

MJ must be legal for recreational use in order to be able to get enough, grow enough, etc, to help people.

I have seen the benefits of MJ use in my own family. God gave us MJ. We should use it.

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.

Your comment brought this to mind:

I have not read the other thread on this topic, but my question regarding Use of Marijuana would be where is the line drawn? If moderation is the line, why can't we use many other drugs in moderation?

If you read the early pages of that thread, you will appreciate the gravamen of the argument.

As many have said, "moderation" depends on the individual's circuмstance—too many variables to make a meaningful blanket statement.
