On this episode of the SSPX Interview series, we’re going to be taking a look at Marijuana. In recent years, the use of recreational cannabis has become fairly widespread and legal in many places. And even among Catholics, it’s now common hear that using this drug is no different than drinking alcohol. So Fr. Robinson will join us to take a careful look at the drug that is marijuana, as it is dispensed today, along with the effects that this drug has on its users, as revealed by current studies. We’ll look broadly at the morality of drug use, then, we will look specifically at marijuana to consider its effects, compare its effects to those of alcohol and tobacco, and finally make a judgment on the morality of its use.

I've smoked for 12 years. I've stopped after a confession with a sspx priest the second time I went to a latin mass..
❤❤❤❤🙏🏻⛪️🕊🇮🇹
Great to know that. God bless you
Congratulations! How has your life changed?
May God continue to bless you!
Amazing! Good for you. May God keep blessing you.
The behaviour of stoners in high school was enough to keep me away.
If you had drunkards in high school the result would be much the same I'm sure - but that says nothing of alcohol itself.
Ultimately one can blame the puritanism intrinsic to some trad communities particularly in America for what is a largely ill-informed take on the matter.
Much like alcohol, caffeine and tobacco it's a matter of prudence and temperance.
They are literally high schoolers 😂 ofc they’re gonna be idiots
@@beauchamps1741Since when did God design human lungs to take in smoke? That is not their purpose and function, in the same way that the anus is not designed to be a sex organ. Misusing our bodies in ways that go beyond the limits of their intended purpose has real consequences, both physical and spiritual.
The content on this Catholic channel is *unrivaled* Thank you so much for all you do!
💯
As it turns out, "don't do drugs kids" is pretty solid advice that just makes sense.
The amount of cope from avid drug users is enough evidence of their harm to the human person
No matter what it is, if a substance inhibits your ability to pray, knee down before a crucifix, a statue of Our Lady or reading writings from a doctor of the church, if your intellect is effected in that moment, when God wishes you to be holy, you may not be bringing your creator you at your best, which is already lowly and insufficient, it seems imprudent and uncharitable if you are trying to progress in perfection.
Who on earth is our lady ? You mean Semiramis ?
@@colvinator1611 No he was talking about the Mother of God you just insulted.
I mean your have to have the intelligence of a rock to insult God's Mother.
Good luck when you pass away & go before Jesus to be judged .
BTW he came last century to warn people who are satanic puppets ( look into the mirror ) & warn them , that if they denigrate his Mother he will severely punish them.
What if the substance enhances it?
Just because something is natural, doesn't mean one should consume it. The fallen world....
Skip Magic Mushrooms too
I got heavy into cannabis after I got out of the military, around the same time I was starting to come back to the faith. I do believe it helped me in some regards, however the early benefits were absolutely not worth the nightmare reality I found myself in a year or so into my use (not to mention the enormity of grave sins I had committed in areas of lust, gluttony, and sloth). Like the example of the young man who shot himself, I too found myself buying all sorts of survival equipment, and was a paranoid wreck. The only thing that kept me grounded was my faith, which was tested very hard over the two or so years it took me to fully recover my mental state. It's truly an insidious and deceptive plant.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Indica does not make you paranoid. I have anxiety disorder. Any hybrid or other strains have me acting like a Tweaker. Total paranoia.
Father Robinson is a very good "voice of reason." Even handed and balanced in his thoughts. God Bless you Father.
Most medicines are derived from plants to say THC does not have any* medicinal value is ridiculous. Opium would be far worse as cannabis but has wonderful medical purposes.
The British government has enacted laws to make cannabis available under medical supervision. It can be legally obtained on prescription only. This gives you the measure of how dangerous this drug is. Undoubtedly people suffering from pain self medicate but it should only be done under a doctors supervision. This is really where the US government fails to look after their own citizens by providing a full national health service as in Europe where people can access the drugs they need for free under a doctors supervision. It Is a disgrace for the richest country in the world to let it's people suffer like this. The drug is not the problem it's the gangsters who distribute it to all and sundry. It is for medical use only in the UK.
@@marymoloney5784 Drugs are dangerous but so is depression so is cancer, drugs can be a great help in the right circumstances.
Great episode. I do wish Father would have addressed medical use specifically, and the circumstances where that would or would not be appropriate, and it's morality in the context of the principle of double effect.
I believe you can get all of the medical benefits from products with little to no THC in them. I could be wrong.
If the intention is not to exploit legality, or to cheat moral obligations, then it would not be moral and just. If the intention is exclusively to address a medical problem, then there would not be any problem.
It's a trap. Most patients really don't have a significant improvement dealing with pain.
It's just like any other drug. Good judgement needs to be excercised in assessing the risks and potential benefits. Extra care should be taken not to abuse this drug and it should be considered that your character will be judged if you are known to take it.
@@JohnSmith-lf4be some need THC, like Parkinson’s/Tourette’s
Thank you Father for this education.
I’ve never, ever heard that people are allergic to smelling Marijuana! I’ve been smoking marijuana all my life, still till today. It has never led me to harder drugs!! It’s not addicting like other drugs and alcohol. I can smoke today and not smoke again for months and months!! I’ve never had to smoke 20 joints to get high back in the 70’s and up! I never once hallucinated on marijuana! I disagree with a lot he has been saying 😮
Rosanne. Become a Traditional Catholic. Attend the Latin Mass. Focus on learning the One True Faith and prepare for Heaven. Drugs are not the way to salvation.
Yeah this guy is on one
I spent 5 seconds googling marijuana allergy. It's a thing. Kinda weird that you think your personal experience is the norm. It's not.
I used it a few times with my boyfriend and I hated the way it made me feel. I don't like feeling out of control. I'd become mad. Ate some brownies and felt like I was going to die. My respirations got very low
You did too much but lowkey that’s part of the desired effects. It’s a serious drug, you can’t play around with it. The issue is people treating it like it’s nothing and fooling novel users
Thank you Fr. For speaking about this topic. These kinds of Topics need to be spoken of
I confess I do smoke time to time weed. I am starting to winding down. I do not smoke on the day itself but when I close the day with prayers. I pray everyday 5 six times. Now the Lord indeed want me to be without it. I smoke then in the evening one. And because the Lord is coming stronger in me I can't smoke more like I used to do. It's a deep rooted habit and it's slowly fading away. Pray for me to cut the cord and I will totally break with a habit what I used before I knew the Lord. ( survival mode) but the Lord is merciful to me I did quite tabaco and now this will be gone out of my life. Thanks for the video ❤ God bless you all
I think with drugs like weed you can’t really control what goes on with your mind when you do them, and that much lack of control is so scary to me 😵
How are you gonna let Jesus lead your life if lacking control scares you? And how much control over your mind do you really have to begin with?
Moderator, maybe please delete the comments from Yoey yoey, obviously a troll. I like reading comments from good videos and really appreciate the moderators who delete the trolls.
I don't think you even know what you are talking about. Weed doesn't make you lose control of your body like alcohol does, physically or mentally.
@@PhantomRed13 I can only speak about my experience. Weed definitely made me lose control. I had my worst ever panic attack and that was the day I made the decision never to do it again 😊
@@yoeyyoey8937 lol we are not robots or slaves that Jesus controls. Our Lord works hand in hand with us so we do have some control over our lives- we can control the decisions we make. That’s the point of free will.
I smoked cannabis for 21 years and have recently reverted to Catholicism. I no longer intend to abuse cannabis. Great show!
If you have debilitating chronic nerve pain from one of the many autoimmune disorders out there - lupus and multiple sclerosis being the best 2 known of a whole family of diseases - then taking tylenol, ibuprofen, or aspirin doesn't help. Neurological pain only responds to neurological medication. Standard painkillers don't work. Your choices are psychedelics, THC, and narcotics. Between them, THC is the least mind-altering. There is a legitimate medical use for it. It is irresponsible to dismiss the legitimate use of it and lump everything into recreational use.
Thank you for this. I agree.
Thank you Patrick, I wish for once someone in the clergy would address the medical side cannabis. The recreational use is all I have ever seen covered. To paint with such a wide brush something as complex as cannabis is very irresponsible and naive. I wish once just once someone in the clergy would give and objective analysis of the subject.
They don't care.
Agreed
You get this month's St. Thomas Aquinas Award for balanced wisdom. Well done.
I grew up in the midst of Hippies....Marijuana destroyed so many lives of family and friends. By God's Grace that made me flee from that and the frequent consumption of alcohol. Use of Marijuana can never be rationalized. Alcohol use needs to be tightly self-governed. Spending life sober is FAR superior to this utterly evil nonsense.
Medicinal herb, Thankyou
Need to provide a reference to the technical studies.
I don't do it daily, maybe once per week and I put so little doses in a cigarette. My spiritual sensitivity is highly active when I smoke it. I often begin to cry in joy when listening catholic chants or reading the Bible while doing the plant.
But there is an aftermath. As soon as the euphoria vanishes, sinful ideas begin to rise in me. Most importantly glutony. Also often times I expierence insecurity about myself and sometimes even anxiety. Sometimes I'm able to control the "aftermath" and the impulses that come with it, and I actually do have a long term benefit from this single usage. But more often I succomb to these impulses and I hate myself the following days for my weak soul. It's a battle with the Devil and the THC weakens you while you battle him.
Thank you for this very important video.
Great podcast. I will politely disagree with some of the info. At a micro-dose level for medicinal purposes, marijuana is quite effective. I use it daily to treat chronic pain and I’m never high or uninhibited in any way. I’ve also never used other illegal drugs nor will I ever. So it is t a gateway for everyone nor addicting for everyone. It can be used responsibly.
This "chronic pain" diagnosis is a total nonsense. It's a way to feed someone's addiction. Find the cause of pain and a way to cure it, and not by chronic messing with neural pathways in the CNS.
It can be. This is just predictable fear mongering a la reefer madness
@@radomysltwardowski2604 are you their Dr? How would you know?
Judge mental much? Certain illnesses, like cancers are incurable and the only thing that helps the pain is marijuana
A personal anecdote or no arguments from ppl who clearly don't listen and have no further argument ahead.
Yup 🤷♂️
Interesting topic. 😊
Interesting. Thank you. I already hated marijuana, cigarettes/vaping/cigars, alcohol, and caffeine before watching this. But I didn't know about the link between schizophrenia and mental breakdowns, or, the changes in dosage use over the years. I am still opposed to recreational marijuana, I am probably opposed to some medical uses.
Why are you opposed to medical use? Some conditions are helped immensely by medical cannabis.
th-cam.com/video/zNT8Zo_sfwo/w-d-xo.html
But why?
Smoking marijuana is something I haven't consider...
There is some good & sensible advice at the end of this video.
This is ridiculous. I'm 20 minutes in... 😅
Thank you, Fr. Robinson, for all the effort that you made to put together this program with Andrew. I live in Ontario, Canada where you will find a similar attitude as there is in Colorado. I work for the police and even there I find an attitude that says more or less that it is okay. Here there are also shops selling products on all the major streets and a town not too far from my town is noted as a pot growing town where they used green houses all year round. I shutter when I think that all this is contributing to a decline in mental health. Thanks again....Stephan
ps - I was also wondering about something when Andrew made the comment that even in traditional Catholic circles, this attitude can be found. Another strange attitude in traditionalist circles is that cigar smoking is manly, somehow Catholic and again cool. Not sure why this has come about, but I have noticed it on various so-called traditional websites such as Taylor Marshall and Kennedy Hall. I find it stinky and it cannot be good for the lunges (which God gave us too).
a lot of useful information about the minor psychotic episodes
Please everyone, share this with all your family, friends and fellow faithful. Everything Father has said is true and this information needs to be.
shared. May God bless all SSPX Priests, Brothers and Religious. I love the SSPX.
It's a great painkiller for gunshots and stab wounds, I wonder what we will use if we ever have to run and in hide in the mountains due to persecution?
Why is ALCOHOL legal. I've personally seen more destruction with that drug, whereas Marijuana isn't destructive. Ingesting Marijuana will not give you lung cancer, and it stops seizures studies show. Why didn't you mention these studies? Different strains affect different issues, like aniexity, and pain. It's much safer than some over the counter and prescriptions made in a lab. It's non addicting in comparison to alcohol, and when taken as prescribed is beneficial to the user.
"there is no healthy amount of alcohol"
A guy at work recently had a bad reaction to a brownie he got from another coworker. He thought he was going to die and went to the hospital. He ended up being fine but the other guy got fired.
I once had a panic attack from weed when I was smoking through a bong.
Thank you, Father Robinson, for telling the truth about the psychosis caused by marijuana (timestamp 18:11). Way back in the 1970's, I saw marijuana cause psychosis (hallucinations and schizophrenia) in two people. The daily user thought he saw bugs hatching out of his skin. He lost his job, "flipped out" permanently, spent the rest of his life in and out of mental institutions, and died at age 59. The doctor said it was smoking marijuana that pushed him over the edge into permanent schizophrenia and manic-depression (bipolar).
As a traditional catholic I will say that this is not even close to my experience as a medical marijuana treated person. It's reduced aggression and every other symptom of my diagnosis of PTSD, mdd, and bipolar...until I began regular marijuana therapy my life was in pieces. Now I'm doing excellent. Let's get information from other sources which contradict this biased, misleading material. We can do better than this in the Church.
Exactly. Micro dosing which causes no intoxication as I do, helps with pain without being impaired. Marijuana literally saved me from suicide. It was the only relief from the pain I was feeling from Lyme arthritis. My doc tried other stronger pharmaceutical drugs that did not help me and I refused opioids or other highly addictive and harmful approved drugs.
Seems people don't have ears. And anecdotes don't reflect the bigger picture.
Funny Levi I don't see you posting on other catholic sites ..other than this about drugs.
Yeah this is super outdated and uninformed. They don’t even know how statistics work. They claim that cannabis causes crime, because criminals are more likely to have thc in their system 😂😂😂 like what if they are more likely to use cannabis BECAUSE they are criminals, but the stats won’t tell you that. And neither will these guys cherry picking every thing that could make it look bad. It’s ok if you are biased but don’t act like you have objective facts and sound reasoning.
so being high all the time makes you feel good? amazing.
Great episode. Thank you!
What about kava? I've read it's about as bad for the liver as alcohol. It relaxes you, but doesn't give you a "buzz" or impair judgment. It's kind of expensive so I only drink it once in a blue moon. Would kava be sinful?
None of this is sinful it’s about how you use it and only god knows if you are using it wrong
Thank you for a very informative podcast. So, everything they told us in the 50s about pot was right after all!
They’re all wrong
No not even close...smh
Suoerb knowkedge and insight.✝️🌹🇵🇭
There’s a lot of potheads in SSPX chapels, I’ve heard. They need to hear this!
Great Podcast. 🙏 praise God.
Muchas gracias. Padre. Por tan. Importante
Info y que dios. Lo. Vendiga Y lo proteja
What do you do for a loved one who refuses to hear these warnings and is stubbornly committed to using? His psychiatrist has told him these things but he says even the doctor doesn't know what he's talking about.
Praying for him!
Could you tell me whether or not it would be morally ok to use the gummies with a low THC in order to sleep better?
There are many alternatives to getting good sleep, which should take priority.
If helps and it don't turn you into a addict it is fine. Remember scrupulosity in itself can be a sin. To be honest, the best sleep I've ever gotten was with taking daily, magnesium, potassium and melatonin. I sleep well. Side note, I got very little benefit from the melatonin until I started taking the magnesium and potassium. Magnesium and potassium in the morning and before bedtime melatonin.
Btw, it maybe a week or two before you build up the magnesium and potassium in your body.
I'm not a moral authority but from my medical knowledge your body would get used to even microdose of thc and learn to require it to sleep. Eat healthy, don't eat for atleast 3-4 hours before going to sleep, eat your protein and fat heavy meals for breakfast and lunch and have only small and light meals in the evening. Don't drink coffee or consume chocolate after noon and have moderate physical activity. Best activity level is the max of what you can sustain a constant amount every day without strain or injury. Limit stimulating activities for atleast an hour before bed and pray Rosary right before bed.
Possibly if you use indica to relax your body with small mg gummy’s but I really don’t know
I think, not positive, it was Padre Pio who said “stay sober, stay alert, the enemy is a lion who devours souls.
Thank you so much for producing this much needed video! I have been searching for a long time for a Traditional Catholic explanation as to why recreational Marijuana is wrong, and although there are a few secular books on the topic, I haven't found much from a Traditional Catholic perspective, and plus, I very much prefer podcasts rather than churning through a book of statistics and research. God Bless the SSPX and Abp Lefebvre!🙏🙏
Great video, the amount of defensiveness in these comments, regarding points Fr didn't even make, just furthers his point
Which was episode 7?
I do not or ever have taken drugs but always thought that marijuana was a mild drug and dangerous. This is a major eye opener. My next door neighbour smokes and I think he is exposing my cat because he has become quite aggressive.
LOL ! meowww !
At a friends house I tried a fudge maid with marijuana, when I got home that I could not pray.
Nature abhors a vacuum, especially a spiritual vacuum.
Been smoking on and off all my life [62], i can say your better off without it, social pressure is one thing, getting the 'munchies' is another,and i lacked self control as when to smoke it, i would start in the morning just because i had it, commomly called ' a mull pig '. My wife says imagine if kids saw you ,what does your heart say ?.
goated thumbnail
Why does the government endorse marijuana use? Because stoned people are easier to control
I love the people here who hear the Truth and perform every mental gymnastic to rationalize there way into doing their sin, because it is their sin.... because sin make you stupid. Father never said it affects everyone that same way, but the stats are telling.
I met a young man who was a daily smoker, before it was legalized. He told me that it was the only thing thst helped hus depression, and wanted to be able to be high at work. I was clueless, & assumed he meant it worked like Prozac.
Turns out, when he was high as a kite, he didn't feel depressed! As soon as the high wore off, the "depression" returned. Great! Its like me claiming Martinis cure my depression.
Homeopathy episode coming?
I thank God I could never afford the stuff.
I personally would put it somewhere near alcohol but again depending on why the person is using it. Some guy with dreads listening to bob marley and doing nothing all day is obviously sinful, It’s kind of a newer issue so I’m not sure what to think of it all. It does seem pretty similar to alcohol in the sense that a small amount is fine and excess is terrible, but I guess it doesn’t cause drunkenness that would lead to even more sin I think
Yeah it’s not bad. It’s just how you use it. If you take cannabis and pray and treat people well and contribute to society I don’t see anything wrong with it
If you go to a dispensary you will know exactly what you're getting. You could choose 5mg gummies and candies. It actually is super easy to control your dose and use moderately.
Exactly.
This is full of disinformation and misinformation
I thought this would focus on how thc use affects one's relationship with the Holy Trinity and communion of the saints, but it went almost immediately to - it makes everyone into paranoia crazed killers of self or others. Unnuanced. Hundreds of millions of these users are not attacking or killing anyone.
Jesse gives the best teaching of how wrong it is
Fr. Robinson knew this was going to be a very unpopular and controversial subject. His conclusion was not ambiguous but straight forward leaving no room for misinterpretation.
If this wonderful herb or anything that can effect our mental state and our free will should certainly be avoided.
Fr. Robinson saw that he had a responsibility to expose this information. With wisdom and knowledge comes responsibility.
Maybe the Pope will come out on this subject and give us some confusion .
Not one argument about interruptio rationes
Why was Marijuana made illigal in the first place?
It would fall under illicit pharmakeia, since many people use it explicitly or implicitly with the intention of achieving "altered" states of consciousness, or to achieve a kind of "gnosis." We'll see what SSPX says.
The illicit pharmakeia is being served up in gender reassignment clinics, ADD meds and antidepressants for all.
No experience quite like the direct experience of the divine reached, and cannabis certainly has that ability.
Whats wrong with that though?
@@BillyraycyrusIII yeah these people don’t know what they’re talking about. They reallly wanna gate keep God 🤦♀️ 🙄
@@BillyraycyrusIII that's completely pagan. I've heard the same nonsense from other potheads too, that somehow cannabis can "put you in touch with spirits". I agree, it can put you in touch with spirits, however those spirits won't exactly be friendly...
Is Marijuana wrong, Yes if it is abused, my problem is when is it abuse? Seems to me anyone who doesn't abuse would actually not even want to use it an that applies to Alcohol as well. One drink taken slowly, is not a sin but two drinks easily can be wrong, and why do people want to ruin their health? Nicotine, and Alcohol will both do that, but with smoking there is no reasonable use, it ends up messing with our health.
Observation: people who are high have no idea how crazy they look to people who aren't high. They think its doesn't effect them, & that people have no way of knowing, & some think it makes them super intelligent or creative, when theyre just babbling.
What i have noticed in recent years is the precipitous rise in people who smoke who get aggressive. Theyre scary. One can see theyre on the edge & might fall over it. Im also sick & tired of people who drive while they are high. I identified with Father's noticing bizarre driving - before 10am - and having to worry that rhe person is stoned off their gourd & aggressive but thinks its God's Flower.
Yeah, alcohol can
Marijuana personally aided me in my spiritual development and re-embracement of Christianity. Different physiological systems have different reactions to it.
I would be interested to hear your spiritual explanation of the effects of marijuana. In my experience, marijuana and mushrooms opens people up to different ways of seeing, mostly operating from the subconscious. This can be quite dangerous as people often have unresolved issues that will surface when using psychedelic compounds, so I would never recommend it to people in general. That being said, these psychedelics can do great therapeutic work, especially with mental problems like depression by giving patients an alternative way of looking at the world for a brief moment.
The earliest known use of marijuana was from ancient India where people would throw it in a bonfire after a tragedy(like war or disease), they used it to aid in their mourning. I think marijuana is attractive to sad people, that would explain why more and more people use it, because depression is rampant in these times with or without marijuana.
“If someone had a few puffs of a joint that was 1% thc or less, there is no moral sin there.” This kinda undermines the whole interview, you are putting deluded and uninformed metrics upon what “moderate use” is, or you are creating a huge straw man for cannabis use. How do you quantify the subjective effects level and judge which is sinful or not? Hypothetically it would seem you could, but you insist that there is no “moderate use” with modern products. So using cannabis was moral until 20 years ago? I bet 20 years ago you would have said the same exact things regardless. This is reefer madness, the Catholic remix
Genesis says God gave "every herb bearing seed for our consumption." Is it a Sin? I don't know. Misuse or overuse is a bad thing. Moderation is key. Bible also says to "take a little wine for the stomachs sake." Is wine a sin? To many, yes. Again...moderation!!!
Fr Robinson should start a Catholic policy think tank. As a phd myself, I'd join
As a phd you should use punctuation
Social effects of marijuana use: Pennsylvania elected John Fetterman a US Senator, based on his views on weed & abortion.
That should scare people straight.
Not all Marijuana is the same...especially not what is available generally, through street vendors.
Years ago I had two completely different reactions: one was a sense of calm;
the other was an experience of ice picks going into my brain....!
(Understandably, I have avoided that herb since that latter experience.)
That's like saying "not all drugs are the same". A drug is a drug.
@@CecyGzz they aren’t the same at all, and cannabis quality varies a decent amount for better or for worse
Yeah, cannabis is not a single “drug”. The effects can vary a lot depending on many factors
Wow
The story about the woman killing her boyfriend I very strongly doubt thc is what she smoked or was what caused her to kill her boyfriend. Great excuse for a murderer.
www.toacorn.com/articles/police-accused-killer-told-cops-that-bong-hits-led-to-violent-episode/
Yeah, she def made that shit up to try and get off easier. That or she was already severely mentally unstable, and that is just what happened to tip her over the edge.
I don’t buy it either
😂 You can tell he has never smoked weed in his life. The story about a woman murdering her boyfriend because she took a hit off a bowl is ridiculous. 100 percent guarantee the marijuana had nothing to do with what she did. This is like Reefer Madness 2023 LOL
www.toacorn.com/articles/police-accused-killer-told-cops-that-bong-hits-led-to-violent-episode/
Guarantee she has full blown Schizophrenia. Hearing voices, etc. You could smoke an Lb. and it still wouldn't cause this reaction. She was an outlier/mental case for sure.
You are right, this is 100% reefer madness remix. They even use the same language. The only difference is that they try to scare by saying “it’s so much stronger, this isn’t your grandma’s marijuana!” But this is a huge lie. High potency cannabis has always existed. And also what difference does it make if it’s the same fear mongering points that people were using 100 years ago (“you’ll lose your mind and become a criminal!”)
smoking weed is pure cope
Is drinking alcohol until you feel a little "buzzed" a venial sin?
You should talk to your priest in the confessional.
Drunkenness is a sin. Addiction is a sin. If you are moderating your alcohol intake, that is not sinful.
No
When you feel a buzz STOP!
Yes it is, according to these jokers
Very to the point. As usual, people don't know what they are doing to their brains and minds..
And these guys spreading misinfo is not helping
There are so many potheads in this comment section that are triggered that their favorite drug is being exposed. I have no sympathy for arguments in favor of marijuana use at all. In fact, I think the drug should be completelt illegal. I do however have sympathy for marijuana users who are enslaved to their own desires...
You say you have sympathy yet your over here saying there’s “many potheads triggered”. yea someway to call someone when you have sympathy for them. sounds hypocritical for you to say you have “no sympathy for arguments in favor of marijuana”. and then go on saying “you have sympathy for marijuana users who are enslaved”. so which one is it ? you don’t or do ?. 🤦♂️ stay in your lane
Medical marijuana
Holy Ghost via Grace is all you need. Shouldn't interrupt that.
Jesse Romero said its sinful because they used it in the old testament to worship baal the pagan god
The problem is that so many "traditional" Catholics are daily Marijuana users, and every Sunday, they receive communion. It seems that sacrilegious communions are not a concern to them. Blasphemy and sacrilege were the greatest sins that Our Lady warned us about in her apparitions.
No different than any other sinner coming forward each week. We are ALL sinners.
So many? I wasn't aware there were hardly any so I'm curious how you know there are so many...
lol adorable
So many traditional Catholics are daily users? That’s painting with a very broad brush. On what do you base this claim?
I am a Traditional Catholic and know dozens of those with similar beliefs. I have never heard of any using drugs. After knowing people for years I hear about how they live.
I am astonished at this priest's flawed premises for his argument. Most of his research comes from the "Medical Industry," the same experts who recommend taking the death jab along with poor examples of adverse effects. I am so disappointed with his subjective approach. I was looking for an excellent objective argument. Fr. Robinson, I am disappointed with your research. The fact that you just said there is a connection between the use of Marijuana and Autism is a misleading statement. When will you come out with the research regarding the link between Vaccines and Autism? To Fr. Robinson's credit, he does look uncomfortable speaking about this subject and might have been told to take on this subject that he is unfamiliar. 1 joint equal to 4-5 cigarettes??? Wow, Padre this is such a bad look for the Society. It's your research and actual arguments, not what you are arguing about. Very disappointing.
This new dope is all hyped up. Certainly not your natural pot.
Nope
Hearing these statistics is the most depressing experience I've had in a while.
If i had it my way, ALL CIGARETTES, WEED, HOOKA ILLEGAL.
Chewing tobacco amd cigars would be it.....and only it.
It's wrong for me.Always leads to sinning. No good.
I don't think I can waste another 30 minutes listening to the rest of this schismatic's false arguments. I thought he would at least try to give the Church's teaching, but I should have known better, considering he works for a hyper Recognize and Resist organization of the Novus Ordo. Boomer quality reasoning skills are required to digest this kind of work.
Why is he taking sooooooo long to get to the point??? Those who really need to hear this won’t sit thru this. Thanks for the effort but 11 mins in I have to stop!
I cant stand the smell of it. I think cbd is another thing altogether.
The Society deals only in the most important matters of theology & tradition 😂
This is very biased and not a fair or accurate portrayal. It's not linked to homicide or mental health disorders. I personally am treated for bipolar with a combination of drugs including marijuana. Ever since I began thc regularly I've done nothing but do better. There's another side to this that needs also be presented in a Catholic perspective.
It is absolutely linked to mental disorders and mental degeneration. There are situations where medical use is permissible, but exceptions prove the rule.
Use probiotics. It's bot biased.
Its important not to forget your opinion is not the faith.
After having experience talking to mental health nurses, marijuana is one of the drugs that induces psychosis, I would believe them after having years of experience dealing with mentally unwell patients. As Jesus says, he who hears you hears me. Priests are caretakers of our souls and only wish that we will get to heaven. Any thing that inhibits your use of reason is sinful as it opens you up to the temptations of the devil and one would do things under the influence they may not otherwise do if they are sober
These people are just trying to confirm their bias with cherry picked facts. The sad part is how many will take this seriously and uncritically
