End of thread right here.  Same principles apply to MJ as do to alcohol. 

Differences are merely practical (or extraneous) considerations around --
1) the possibility of using smaller doses that do not lead to the complete loss or reason
2) in places where it's illegal, whether it would be a sin to violate the law
3) for those who could lose their jobs due to random testing, etc.

This really is not a particularly difficult question.
You have never smoked pot nor used it to seduce girls, so how would you know about  "tusing smaller doses that do not lead to the complete loss of reason'?
(P.S. - it does not take complete loss of reason to lose inhibitions)

Personally, I have never met a recreational pot smoker that was not affected by it stunting their maturity and reach anywhere near their potential.

And I'm only on the moderation usage side of this
How much pot do you smoke recreationally in "moderation"?

Jansenism and Manicheanism are both heresies, FYI.
That is irrelevant my friend, you are starting to get emotional. I asked a question in the OP, that is no answer. Do you smoke pot or let your children smoke pot?

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.

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?
