I am sorry, but Ladislaus is a nobody, the same as I and anyone else that posts on CI their unsubstantiated opinions. In the case of Ladislaus, Pax Vobis, and Mark79 it is even worse, for all three have repeatedly said they have not even had a puff of MJ. So they know absolutely nothing about MJ but what they choose to believe.
"It takes one to know one" fallacy. Again. 

I really need to know why you are dredging out this old fight again? Just let it die.

Gisela Kreglinger, in her book The Spirituality of Wine, notes that the rise of drugs has accompanied the decline of religious belief and practices. She points out that a decline in faith precludes the socialization and rituals surrounding alcohol that Christianity offers...
In the hippie days of the 60s and 70s when the "recreational use" of MJ was "underground", this (bolded) was certainly true - and that was a time when the faith was something more than just the cloudy memory it is today for nearly the whole world.

The above bolded cannot be honestly denied, which is to say that to accept the legalization or "recreational use" of MJ, is to also accept even more immorality, which of course is a part of the decline of faith.

Sure, I'm a nobody.  So is LastTrad, and so is the author of the article in the OP (cracker-jack box Ph.D. from a Novus Ordo university notwithstanding).  While I was at the same NO univeristy (The Catholic University of America), I took graduate-level theology clases there, and I can attest that I learned more in the first month at STAS than all those courses combined.

Ladislaus: cites Jone.
LastTrad: cites Novus Ordo pseudo-theologian.

Ladislaus:  has taken Traditional seminary theology courses in Formal Logic, Philosophy, and some Theology
LastTrad:  used pot

So now that we have the ad hominems out of the way, where it's nobody vs. nobody, maybe you could actually address the principles and rational arguments.  But I won't hold my breath.

Exactly.
We don't have to have an abortion to know abortion is wrong.

It's because it was not controlled, as alcohol.
