Don't be a fool, they are not talking about micro-dosing, that is just propaganda for the gullible. They want to get high. Nobody smokes weed to not get high.  Go buy some pot and try the micro-dosing and you will see for yourself that it is a sham.

You still have to deal with the scandal and harm to the family that even "micro-dosing causes. Marijuana is a scandal and harmful to the family, one can't just say it isn't, it is a reality. If you do not think so, tell your parents and children that you are micro-dosing

A stack of cards, built on assumption on top of assumption, on top of assumption, on top of assumption...... a total end run everywhere one looks.

Here are all the unproven assumptions they use to reach the conclusion that it is OK for anyone and everyone to smoke marijuana recreationally. All the observable history of MJ recreational use being a scandal, being a danger to the family, and being a danger to health, all dismissed by a sleigh of hand

They assume that recreational use will no longer be scandal, because they say so.

They assume that it will not be danger to the family because they just say so.

They assume that it is not a danger to health because the US medical industry has some articles on the medical benefits.  They do not listen to the US medical industry on anything (covid, cancer remedies, vitamins, natural remedies, ivermectin), but on this they ignore the 32 points and the actual experience of MJ use since the 1940's, and use ONLY the so-called medical  benefits (not proven)  and sentimentalism  for the sick,  to turn EVERYTHING around, do an end run to teach that anyone can smoke MJ, even young girls and boys.

They assume that it is no different than alcohol, then proceed to use the Moral theology on alcohol.



It is all a stack of cards, built on assumption on top of assumption, on top of assumption, on top of assumption...... a total end run everywhere one looks.

On the other hand, the dopers have not posted one single Catholic article promoting recreational use of Marijuana, nor have they had any personal experience with using it or family members that used it (Ladislaus, Mark79 said many times they have not even had a puff of MJ **) Everything is on my side (personal experience and Catholic articles) and NOTHING is on their side but spam.

(** - I believe that they have tried marijuana, they are just afraid to say it because they fear that their children and parents would be devastated by knowing it. Yet, they come here to promote its use?)

A. There are no "dopers" participating in your expanding myriad of raving MJ threads.

B. Your opponents do not "promote recreational use" of MJ, hence your opponents have not and need not post "promotional" articles of any provenance on the social use of MJ.

C. You have made quite clear that that both use and non-use disqualify anyone who disagrees with your rabid reefer madness. If someone doesn't use it, you pretend a lack of personal experience is disqualifying. If someone has tried it, they are "dopers" (unless they agree with your reefer madness).

Have you stopped abusing your children? Yes or no!

D. What you "believe" has proven to have no necessary connection to reality.

Remember, you are the a**hole who "believes" that I am a damned rabbi sent here to take down saintly Pharisees such as yourself. :laugh2:

E. "Everything is on my side." — You are a pathetic legend in your own mind.

Idiotic.  According to the articles, many people are microdosing, to get the benefits of THC without the high (e.g. to help them be more productive at work ... where you can't actually get high without risk of being fired).  And the micro-dosers typically do not smoke but use tinctures that have properly measured and dosed amounts so they can control exactly how much you get.  Most people who use pot do so to get high, but your "nobody smokes weed not to get high" is just more madeup nonsense.  Your anecdotal "nobody", again, has nothing to do with the moral issues under discussion here.
