I'm going to give you the last word on the subject, Mark, since you are obviously upset and angry, I can see that I'm just making it worse. I do not believe that pot and alcohol are on the same level, for reasons I've ALREADY cited, and at least one SSPX priest has said the same in a sermon, so I'm not alone there.
What a joke.

You are welcome to your "beliefs" even when they are unjustified. I don't give a hoot whether or not you misinterpret the state of knowledge about MJ & EtOH. AT your request I provided you with dozens of studies contradicting your debunked "beliefs," including reviews by the Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Science, and the University of California. You are welcome to ignore all of it.  You can stick your fingers in your ears, close your eyes, and shout "Nyah, nyah, nyah" all you want.

BUT:

I do find it offensive that you presume to judge the interior dispositions of others. You cannot read another's heart, mind, or soul.  To impugn the intentions of others is a judgment on ANOTHER PERSON'S interior disposition. Ask your favorite priest about THAT.

Yeah, "at least one SSPX priest." Are you referring to a former policeman who could have prevented serious crimes, but did not because he presumed the intentions of the victim who reported the crimes (just trying to avoid summer camp)?

I have discussed these issues with other SSPX priests and they find no fault with medical use.  The topic of recreational use never came up.

lf I were on the fence about Catholics and smoking MJ recreationally I would ask myself, ‘If MJ was legal in my State, would I sit down and smoke a bowl or joint with my grown son or daughter who just came of age?’
Why, or why not?
Would I smoke it in front of a five year old? 
Why or why not?
Would I offer some to my priest if he were visiting my home? 
Why, or why not? 
(And I mention the legal aspect because some may blame the stigma it has on its illegal use in some places.)

I have a son who is 21, a responsible young man, he has never touched the stuff. Even though we have family members who use it frequently. 
I could not imagine bringing something like recreational MJ into his life. There are enough spiritual pitfalls laid out for him already.

Can I picture myself enjoying a glass of wine while my five year old plays nearby? Yes definitely.
Smoking a joint? Um, no. 
Would I allow a friend of mine do it in front of any of my children? Negative.

Oh yea, puff the magic dragon. Light up the kids. Huff the steam roller. Pass the joint. Fire up the bong and have a brutal session. It's herbal, natural, good for you, kills cancer and will make everybody saints. :facepalm:

Since you need to resort to such blatant straw man arguments, you have only an opinion and remember… opinions are like… um… er… uh… noses; everybody has one.

I provided dozens of verifiable references (including a review of all the available literature by the National Academy of Science).


:facepalm:

P.S. I made this with someone else in mind, but expected it would remain useful.

I wonder, are there parents out there that do this?
Do mom and dad hide in the basement and puff while the kids play upstairs? Or do they roll em’ up on the living room coffee table? 
What age do they think is best for exposing children to the inhaling of this ‘natural’ mood altering substance? Toddler? Teen?
Is the second hand smoke safe for children as well?
