There was no "microdosing justification".  It was an attempt to draw out the principles from people's thick skulls.  Microdosing involves the use of just enough THC to provide benefits of relaxation, relief of anxiety and depression, etc. WITHOUT there being a high or even a buzz ... the principle being that the morality hinges entirely on the impairment of the faculties, as the pre-V2 moral theologians very clearly explained.  This is not particularly difficult stuff.
EXACTLY!!

Alcohol is highly regulated and manufactured, so when you look at a bottle, you know how much alcohol % is contained and you drink according to your tolerance (which is still subjective...because it drinking on an empty/full stomach can DRASTICALLY alter its effects).


MJ is not uniformly grown nor produced.  It is impossible to say that 1-2 puffs will get you high, or won't, without knowing the plant, producer, etc.  Again, it also depends on the person and how they react to such substances.

Some people can use asprin for pain relief; some people who take asprin will die from allergic shock.  The point is...people have to know what they are drinking/smoking and if they aren't responsible, they will sin.  God will hold them accountable according to their conscience, lukewarmness or carelessness.

But...for people who do research...they can safely and morally use MJ, in theory (I wouldn't know nor will I ever care to find out).
Exactly the point of the recreational use argument: it should be controlled like alcohol is, identifying strength of each variety or manufacturer, just like alcohol, so people can know what they are getting and, therefore, know how much can be used so as to relax without getting high.

Additionally, I would observe that the article which I posted in the OP, which clearly states it is only condemning recreational use of MJ, has already garnered 3 quick down thumbs (a number soon to grow)?

The conclusion most normal people would arrive at is that they don’t want recreational use of MJ to be considered sinful.

cuмulatively, therefore, it’s difficult to concur that nobody here is advocating for the recreational use of MJ.

Drawing false equivalency between beer/wine and pot; microdosing; down-thumbing articles condemning recreational use of MJ...these certainly would create the impression in many folks, barring further explanation, that some here want recreational use of MJ to be “ok.”
Recreational use IS o.k.  if it is legal and controlled and sold like alcohol.

Once again your micro-dosing article like everything that Mark79 posts is of the world, not a one about recreational use of MJ, not a one written by a Catholic talking about the morality of recreational use. You know nothing of the real world, you can only write in the speculative realm where there are no repercussions. Everything you write about recreational use of MJ is just about saving face seeking a way around "being a sin". "If one does not get high it is not a sin". That is all you have left to hang on to. Moreover, all your articles are from the same sources as covid shots, the world and not the Church. You have fallen hook line and sinker for the idea that science just discovered this snake oil, Marijuana, that cures just about everything. Follow the money, it is all funded by the same people as the Covid shots/"pandemic". I am talking about recreational use of marijuana and you keep bringing in secular articles about unproven medical use.

Where are Mark79's children in all of this, how have they faired using his "discoveries" the last 3 years? No answer. Well, it is where your children will be if you follow him. The blind leading the blind.
