Can I Smoke Marijuana?

- If you’re wondering if you can smoke marijuana, Pope Francis offers some advice:
“Let me state this in the clearest possible terms: the problem of drug use is not solved with drugs. Attempts to legalize so-called recreational drugs are not only highly questionable from a legislative standpoint, but they fail to produce the desired affects. Here I would affirm what I stated on another occasion: no to every type of drug use. It’s as simple as that.”
But if the answer is no, then why? If it’s not an issue from a legal standpoint, what’s the problem with smoking marijuana?
Here we are talking about recreational use and not medicinal use. Anyone who uses marijuana for recreational use is looking to cope with something deeper. They’re encountering difficulty of some kind in their heart, and turn to marijuana to numb the pain for a while. The problem is, once the drug dies off, the heart is still troubled and the emptiness is deeper.
Marijuana alters your perception of reality. This is a problem not only because it impairs your judgment in the moment. It also leaves a lingering belief that the drug is helping you cope or escape from the troubles of your heart. When the mind finally catches up and sees marijuana actually isn’t helping, it often tries a harder drug.
I should not be asking whether using recreational marijuana is morally wrong, but whether it is helping me grow in my relationship with Christ. If I know I am free in Christ, why do I need marijuana to be free or to be who I really am? God is reality, and marijuana makes you escape from reality. Pope Benedict XVI said:
“The patient and humble venture of asceticism, which in small steps of ascent comes closer to the descending God, this adventure is replaced by magical power, the magical key of drugs. The ethical and religious path is replaced by the technology of drugs. Drugs are the pseudo-mysticism of a world that does not believe yet cannot get rid of the soul’s yearning for paradise.”
“Paradise is waiting for you in reality, not in a cloud of smoke” Fr. Malachy says. Don’t let your hearts settle. Turn to God, and experience the real version of everything you’re looking for.

I was addicted to meth and almost every other drug for 14 years, been sober for 2 years. God please help others who are addicted.
I'm proud of you for getting clean🙏...Thank God!
I'm so happy that you have been freed. I'm sooo glad. May God bless you and sustain you. Please help me, how do I deal with a young 16 year old doing drugs. How do I help him ? How did you do it?
May you continue to be blessed. I am so happy for you ♡.
@@Avo_on_Toast thank you for your comment. I can tell you that turning a blind eye to it is not the way to go about it. My mother did that for years and i thought it was ok to just keep doing it. What helped me was my brother he knew i had a problem and he got me out of the situation i was in without judging me and i think that was the best feeling ever was not being judged for using drugs. The difference is i am 37 i started using drugs when i was 14 so it took many years and alot of attempts for me to see my problem. Just dont give up pray and if your child has siblings that are clean ask for their help. I hope for the best for him and will pray for his sobriety. God bless
NewMeOldYou Congratulations on two sober years ❣️
@@debrapepe1724 Thank you very much, the road has been hard but it has also been fruitful. God bless you.
"Ain't no high more than the Most High" - definitely not a stoner
Not funny.
@@EuropeanQoheleth why? Please.
Haha good one
@Joseph Bananas As a believer myself, how is it disrespectful because it glorifies the most High, God. Saying nothing at all would be less glorifying. I believe the Lord is with this comment because it lifts him up! My discernment :)
@Joseph Bananas he wasn't referring to the priest as a stoner he was referring to him self not being a stoner.
Perhaps the one questioning doesn't know that stoner means Marijuana smoker in the United states.
Or perhaps he takes offense to God being compared to a drug .
It is ok that this little saying is beneficial from some and stumbling block for others. That is my brothers and sisters we must me cautious in are speech and actions so as to not stumble one another on the way. As God refines are Christian consciousness we will improve.
So let's remain cautious in are ways and not accuse others . Let us continue to build on another up threw example and words of encouragement with fine counsel when necessary
quit marijuana easter this year. the temptation to keep doing it is extremely strong, i used to smoke with all my family members and i miss them and want to spend time with them but i almost know ill end up smoking. i hate that i centered my life around weed because i feel empty without it. but God is filling me up more daily
Been decades for me, I still get temptation but God consoles me when I stay faithful to prayer, Deo Gratias. We can offer our struggles up to help people who don’t know how to fight. In Christ by Mary!
I’m in the same boat brethren, I smoked for about ten 12 years, with friends and family, connected to many social gatherings.
Had a feeling of emptiness as well, but God fills my day, and I learned to enjoy a sober mind more and more. Still I think about sometimes especially in certain situations, but I thank God Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit everyday for strength and to deal with my sins, I’ll hope you walk towards the same, God bless you.
@Ung Ung i relapsed recently, im ashamed of myself, ive been slipping back into sin. i feel ashamed everytime i come to God in prayer, i dont even want to show Him my face. i know He loves me but He has to be so disappointed in me. my heart is set on Him but im in a constant battle with my flesh everyday and ive been giving in. pray for me too man, im praying for you
@@MiKeFrm260 just never never forget that no matter what, even if you feel super guilty and ashamed and bad, even if you keep falling over and over again, even if it seems like you arent advancing at all, God's Love for you won't change or be less and He will keep receiving and forgiving you. Ofc I prayed for u, pray for me too please! 😄
I will pray for you!
"Be Sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom He may devour." - St. Peter
That’s not what that means.
Resting Bitchface,
Enlighten me then Resting Bitchface. How does, “Be sober”, not mean to be sober? Titus 2:2 commands men to be sober. Do you misinterpret that as well? Furthermore, I can’t take anyone with the name Resting Bitchface seriously. Get real and quit fooling yourself.
Being sober means not to be drunk
XXXD prove it.
If you’re high, you’re not sober.

Can everyone keep praying for me COVID has keep me away from the real church people in my life you are all I have right now
Prayed for you ! Stay strong in the faith !
With you man, covids making the spiritual battle hard. Just became catholic again 2 weeks ago for first time in 10 years and has really helped me. I wish you well man
I'll be praying the "Divine Mercy Chaplet" for you today.
pray for you 😇
Yes I'm praying for you!
My biggest issue with cannabis is that I've found that it got in the way of prayer, once I got back to praying. This made putting it down easier.
This is interesting as my take and experience was the opposite. I have SEVERE PTSD and before my conversion a buddy of mine suggested I try Cannabis for treating it instead of the pills that weren't working. Honestly it worked. The noise in my head was finally gone, and I could focus on my spiritual life which eventually lead me home.
To me it is a gift from God himself and I am thankful for it everyday cause before it my life was....I still have plenty of room for improvement but I'm not spiraling down the drain anymore
I agree with your comment. I believe that marjuana is an escape from a deeper issue which some people do not want to acknowledge. The times when I have smoked, it has a temporary escape, but when looking at the big picture it creates a separation from God. MJ interferes with our ability to build a relationship with God and that is our primary purpose in life. Life is about living with honesty and truth which we all aspire to live eternally with God.
I'm a Catholic who uses Cannabis to help me with Clinical Depression and chronic anxiety. I take it with my prescribed pills which do nothing.
The most addictive thing I've ever put in my body is nicotine. I don't get wasted. Ive been approved for medical use by a Doctor. My little boy has MD. Through the grace of God, I'm praying 2 rosaries everyday and going to Latin Mass every Sunday.
I too have clinical depression but skipped the pills for weed. I understand the controversy, but God provided us with natural medicine. Yes, it can be abused, but so can anything else.
I use marijuana for chronic lower back pain because I'd prefer using that instead of opioids. I have also used it once in a while recreationally, but never in a party setting. I've simply had a gummy while watching a movie.
I am trying to quit vaping and the book The Easy Way To Stop Smoking by Allen Carr is so helpful!!!!!! I found that his method also has helped me get closer to god. His method just involves understanding what the addiction is and repetition. Wisdom and understanding is the key to kicking sin; once you fully understand the truth of why something is bad, you desire to do different. I an starting to pray to god to have the true wisdom of whatever sin I am dealing with
i don't think medicinal is the same as recreational. heroin is bad, but it's almost the same drug as morphine, which is ubiquitous in medicine, and also highly addictive. that said, a great many people use it "medicinally" in name only to justify recreational use.
be very careful my brother
@@marvalice3455 Medicinally has a different concentration of ingredients than the kind you use to get high. They're different kinds of weed.
This is something I’ve been working on. I was using marijuana as escapism. I was dealing with a lot of mental health issues, which is why i began smoking i. The first place. Ptsd, anxiety, and depression. I was spiraling down. Then one day I felt the grace of Jesus and uplifted me. He’s been working on me ever since and I’ve been healing, and I see a difference every single day. ❤️
Been struggling with this as well.
I must admit medical marijuana did help me detox off a lot of more dangerous prescriptions. And it seems to have fewer side effects than xanax and such. But I have definitely over used it at times. And just escaping into drugs isn't the goal of any mental health prescription.
@@TheActualLiz Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be fulfilled with the Spirit. The same would apply for other mind altering subtstances. I'm proud of your journey and dedication to holiness in Christ.
Great way to make it worse people like you are the reason weed has a bad name using when ur depression is the worst thing you can do
@@stonerman1018 Not sure if you’re a Christian or not, but the end goal from the Christian perspective should be to be reliant on the Holy Spirit to keep us whole: in mind, soul, spirit and body.

Bruh that weight lifting in zero gravity analogy is spot on. I legitimately had that same thought a few months ago while high. I realized peacefulness doesn’t feel the same when there’s no actual effort being made to be in that state. The effort and struggle made while in this sober reality is what makes it so beautiful.
Dude nailed it. I got chills about how drugs are a pseudo replacement for the divine. I couldn't agree more how habitual pot use robs you of real emotion and relationships. Bless you guys for making this video. It hit home and gave me some great talking points!

@@justinreid2422 This is hilariously wrong. She based her opinion that cannabis was in the Bible on the fact that the Hebrew term " qanēh-bōśem" meaning "aromatic cane" sounds a bit like the word "cannabis". That's it. There's absolutely no evidence that weed has any sort of significance in Christianity.
Stop worshiping a plant and start worshiping God!
@@Shrimp_Insuranceof course there is no evidence for the foolish virgins
but for the wise virgins the Oil of Gladness is all the evidence that is required
How many times is the Oil of Gladness mentioned in the Holy Book of Psalms?
It's hilarious that you DON'T get the Masters commands
Many are called but few are chosen👍🍄💯.

Thank you for this great video. Its been seven months that I’ve been marijuana-free, by the grace of God. Praying that this is a permanent life change for me.

Chill and smoke a doobie
How are you today?
"Drugs are the pysdo-mystisym of a world that does not believe, yet can not get rid of the soul's longing for paradise."
Is there a name to this quote? It's a good one.
I LOVE this quote
Tell me, how old am I?
This quote means a lot to me , my mother was a drug addict and I spent years of my life searching for what my mother found in drugs that she placed them at higher value then her own child.
Drug addiction and alcohol abuse , loose moral conduct including sexual immorality was praised and glorified in my childhood and journey to adulthood.
So I also spent years drinking and doing drugs believing I was growing spiritually .
Perhaps I did glean some spiritual truths along the way but the majority of journey was unfruitful and in vien .
Although compared to my environment I did have a stricter sexual moral compass then many of my peers. I did make compromises in a desire to be loved and accepted aswell as catering to my own sexual desires
This one went deep. Thank you for sharing
I used to smoke weed for the longest time.
*Journaling my worries* with my pen and *sharing my burdens* with christ
was what I needed.
Reflecting on my worries and sharing them with Christ gave me the mindfullness that weed gave me in the past.
Whenever I've *fasted* from carbs or water fasted I've felt less anxious and my compulsive ticks have always gone away.
Whenever I've taken a *cold shower* I've felt very refreshed and brave.
Whenever I've been *chast* for 10-14 days I start feeling another level of confidence and people notice that gleam in my eye.
Amphetamines and weed have given me curage to try new things, mindfullness, confidence, calm.
These days I feel I'm able chase those metaphysical things without weed or amphetamines.
Man will not rest until he rests in God. Glad to know you found God.
One of the reasons man try out many things and continue doing many things, trying out many sexual orientations, taking drugs and other things, is because he is in search of peace.
And peace is not in those things, instead they will make him more restless until he rests in God.
Jesus gives peace which the world cannot give. Just have a quiet time, an alone time with JESUS and pour all out to Him, cry out like Peter, "Lord save me" and He will stretch out his hands and save you. God bless you brother
@@trinityimma
Word.
Weed always weakens me when it comes to warding off other sins
7:22 "If I know who I am before God the Father and I'm living in the freedom of the children of God, why do I need a brownie or a bong to give me the freedom to be who I really am?" This really hit me. I didn't realize how much freedom I had until I stopped getting high.
Hey Victor here,
I'm 24 an addict for 10 years now
With a On and off relationship to "soft" and "hard" drugs .
I truly Stopped using everything for 2 year's now including alcohol
Everything
Except Weed and nicotine
And those are by far the most difficult one's to stop for me !
I'm praying to God
To be strong enough to let go of these last addictions too Amen!
Congratulations on your successes! Victor you have come a long way and I'm sure it took a lot of courage to say NO when temptations tried to derail you from your goal. God is so proud of you. We know all things are possible through God and HE is working with you to eliminate weed and nicotine in your life. Say a Prayer of Petition asking God specifically for what you desire. HE already knows our needs, but likes for us to ask HIM. You don't have to do this alone. Ask Him for help and He will answer you. I believe you can do this! Keep being strong especially in your FAITH.
Thank you guys so much. This is one of my biggest struggles but I’ve been doing so much better lately. The closer I get the God the less I want to smoke, in fact I haven’t smoked in a few weeks after having smoked daily for years. I hope my friends and family can see this path, the correct path, too.
That Pope Benedict quote at the end is so incredibly moving, wow. And he is definitely right. The issue with drug use comes with people using it to cope with the world instead of using Christ. However, there are multiple parts to this. The issue with drugs, particularly marijuana, is the same as the issue with everything else in this world, and it hinges upon intent.
If you have a hard day and come home to your house to smoke weed and forget about your stresses, I believe it is safe to safe that that is a sin, and is not leading you closer to Christ. However, flip the script and come home and get drunk instead of smoke weed, and it is the exact same problem. Now, imagine you are with your friends and you have a few drinks, as was done in the Bible. Using it socially and in moderation can give us recreation that is not for the sake of coping, and can act as that social lubricant that draws us closer to our friends. I believe that the same can be true with marijuana. Socially and in moderation. The issue is not with marijuana itself necessarily, and rather how we use it, and that broadly applies to so many other things in our world.
I have seen friends destroy their lives and brains with extreme usage of marijuana, but I have also seen people use it socially and in moderation, and nothing ill happens to them. In fact, even something is gained a lot of the time. However, this is just my perspective. God bless you guys for this video.
Perspective indeed. I personally feel that the devil is present in marijuana in an intricate way.
I agree. I'm autistic and get overstimulated by sensory stimuli. A little THC in small doses helps me.
My trouble is getting high unlike alcohol sort of I knee breed to you almost instantly, while alcohol is a slow increase
You cannot be a wise virgin without cannabis💯
Facts 🙏
there is nothing sinful about relaxing after a hard day of work and if you think anything else, you’re wrong. i agree that overusing marijuana can be bad but so can overusing your stupid religion. look at all the harm christian zeal has caused since it’s inception. not to mention the carnage that the israelites issued upon others before christianity. abuse of anything is harmful.
You definitely should be on the circuit helping young people who wrestle with this problem...
I’m an older man who is convinced that the wisdom you shared in this video would greatly contribute and benefit children in my own country Canada 🇨🇦. You’ve certainly earned the right to speak from ‘an example’ position. God Bless your efforts indeed!
I love this! Been going back and forth with smoking for a long time
Fr. Mark Mary, you are such a great listener! God Bless you. Great post!
My drug experimentation was 50 years ago. Your description perfectly paralleled mine. On retrospective analysis, I lost about 2 years doing drugs and another 3 years returning to normal. Five total years of emotional stagnation. In old hippie parlance, you talk was, "Wow beautiful, man."
This video is great. I couldn’t agree more. I would still like some more explanation about if/why weed is any worse than alcohol.
These are such cool and educated men!!! I love the videos they share💛

I'm glad to know this. My sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and she has been using the gummies and sometimes smoked it. But she said it has been very beneficial for her with the side effects of chemo.
Hope all is well with your sister, God bless 🌻
Agreed. However, smoking it is counterproductive because you can’t control dosing and are inhaling cancerous chemicals when you smoke it. Better way is to decarb and infuse in oil for sublingual or ingested use. There are ways to do this where you can actually dose the amount of THC you are using.
Praying for her!
@@queenofhearts7726 the amount of carcinogens you inhale smoking a joint is pretty negligible
Jordan F very true. Because there are none. Cannabis is demonstrated in Federal patents again and again to be anti carcinogenic.

Thank you so much for this message. It was very helpful.
This is a great video!!!! I used to smoke everyday and several times a day at that. I would get relief for my nausea. But really never felt high. But realized that I was actually hurting myself in the long run. So I stopped with no issues physically. I just love the fac God lead me to this knowledge. I now can talk to people with the addiction and let them that drugs are not the answer. Face your life head on with God as your guard. God Bless
So it actually helped you by decreasing your nausea and you think that's bad? I'm not telling you to user it but what do you get from the doctor when you are sick? Drugs. If cannabis helps you with a condition then it is medicine and probably healthier than what big pharma pushes. I use it and it helps with multiple conditions I'd need other meds for.
Hi everyone! Saw once someone's comment that that person prayed to Saint Joseph of Cupertino that he would pass the exams well and, as a result, everything turned out. I also recently passed my exams and prayed to Joseph with faith, and everything is just great. In all three exams everything turned out the best.
The prayer itself contains a promise to tell others, that's why I am writing to you.
Have a good day, God bless! :)
I graduated number one in my class (from the 7th rated University in the world) with a 3.9 GPA in Computer Science Engineering. Not once did I not pray, but also did it while suffering from a severe form of demyelination and CRPS (chronic regional pain syndrome) ALL over my body. CRPS has been deemed the most excruciating syndrome (including all forms of cancer). Imagine jumping into a pool of gasoline and lighting yourself on fire... that's exactly what it feels like (with the awesome addition of bone pain so severe, I cannot move an inch from my bed).
I pray to God now but struggle severely with my faith (like many scientists). Nevertheless, I'm still trying. Please pray for me.
John Calderaio Keep persevering my friend. My mother is suffers from chronic pain and is basically bound to her bed. No one is as close to Jesus as those who suffer. Praying for you.
@@JohnnyFive Hi, John! For some reason I remembered your comment. Congratulations on such an achievement, I can imagine how much you worked. I entered the medical university, prepared a lot, so I can approximately understand, but your achievement is certainly much more than mine. I don't want to say too much, I'm sorry that you have such a disease. I can't imagine how you feel, I've never had such a thing. Hold on, my friend. At times my faith is weak, but there were also many moments in my life when I felt that God is real and He is with me. I will pray for you. I am Russian, so if I made a mistake somewhere, I apologize.
@Mel B great! :)
I prayed a special prayer to St Joseph of Cupertino to pass my medical boards. I don’t think I would’ve passed had I not prayed. I also prayed for many saints to interveine and the rosary. Highly recommend!!
I’m glad you made the distinction between medicinal purposes and recreational. There’s a difference between stoners in their mom’s garage puffing and passing to people who are responsibly using marijuana to deal with pain or other health issues. I know many people who were addicted to prescription pills but found that medicinal marijuana really helped to bring them better relief and mental clarity. God bless 🙏🏼
Agreed. I have been both types, the rec kind in my 20s, and I quit weed cold turkey when I found God. Fast forward a few decades...now I use it medically, started during the time I was away from the church, but now I'm back I'm struggling with my legitimate use and have stressed about it (scruples, scruples, argh), over quitting when I darn well just can't because it replaces three meds I'd otherwise need from big pharma. I understand completely why we on the road to Zion should avoid it; it can really mess with your head when you have a relationship with God but you're high.
There are so many people who smoke/d marijuana every day and yet lead productive, efficient life’s that leave behind legacies. It doesn’t make you inherently lazy.
@@escopiliatese3623 you can make the same argument for functional alcoholics, the problem when you get to that stage though, one is using the drug whether it be alcohol or weed as a crutch. at that point one is not free, but a dependent.

Second day slowly releasing my addiction. Tried cold turkey but couldn't due to it being a constant in my household. Slow progress has steady wins ths race.
Ease off of it using only 2 hits a day. Then after a week or so, hold yourself accountable and completely cut it off. I'm speaking from experience. Then in the midst of that you need to find other things to occupy your otherwise idle time by pursuing new hobbies, cultures, languages, take up an instrument, get involved in ministry whatever you'd like. I see that this comment is 7 months old now; How are things going?
@@tyd3407 I'm a full blown addict. I don't see myself quitting anytime soon though my soul wants to. I try to cut back as much as possible everyday but in my 3D expierence my boyfriend is battling cancer for the second time and he smokes for medicinal purposes. He wants to quit to but he needs it. It really does help him. My poor baby wish we could just get past all this into a time when we are both fully ready to quit and he 100% alive and cancer free. Say a prayer for us please.
@@greylove2064 My heart and compassion go out to you. I believe that beyond this, there needs to be a definite reason of WHY you want to quit, (for me it was to be able to start and run my own business and to be able to lead other people in it, as well as take the strides in ministry that God was calling me to). Once you have your why identified, your mind and spirit begin to chase after whole heartedly. I will be praying for your strength and mental fortitude. Please dive into psalms which outline much, but specifically our desire to know God whole heartedly and for him to transcend every part of our thoughts and desires. Again, identify your why, and that will cause you to not stop until you have overcame that addiction, and moreover in those times of temptation to run back to the guilty pleasures; *immediately* ask God to fill your mind with righteous thoughts and desires, and you'll often if not always have an instant inclination to run to the scriptures or engage in prayer. Or both. Bless you dear sister.

I literally starting smoking weed a week ago and this just came out 🤭thank you god
Well. Stop smoking it.
Good call, weed will ruin your life!
o k no it won’t. Liar.
Resting Bitchface look at your name, it obviously exploited you
It can control your life if you’re not careful and smart man just make decisions that God would appreciate man
Great analogy with the weights in no resistance. I have overused marijuana in the past but lately, it’s a 1-2x a week in a micro dosage so it doesn’t get me high but it does relax me. Even with hard work, you need a vacation.
What a great video,thank you Fathers,this is something iv contemplated about.
I'm curious what the difference is between recreational weed and recreational alcohol. Alcohol seems to be more dangerous in every category (side effects, potential for addiction, death from overdose, change of behavior), but is "allowed" recreationally by the church. Is there any explanation for this other than alcohol being traditionally and culturally accepted?
Wine has nutritional value, weed has none. Plus, modern pot is 25x stronger than pot of the 60s, and frequently causes scromiting (screaming and vomiting), psychosis and suicide.
@@wms72 To be fair, Vodka doesn't have any nutritional value either. Also psychosis and vomiting are the result of repeated heavy use, which is more than what I would consider recreational. Alcohol also has similarly bad effects when used heavily and repeatedly.
@@wms72 I'm sorry but you are very uninformed/ or miss informed. There are MANY benefits to weed. Weed helps with chronic pain, improve lungs capacity, helps loose weight, regulates and prevent diabetes, fights cancer and regulates seizures etc. (Healtheuropa.eu)
@@jaydenrivera995 Loose weight? Really? Weed induces cravings for junk food. Inhaling anything into the lungs is not healthy.
Be honest though, no one drinks wine or other drinks for the “nutritional value”, they do it to socialize or “take the edge off” after work. Studies have also found that ethanol might actually be a carcinogen, so any benefits from it are easily mitigated by the negative.
Weed has its benefits, as a medicine, but smoking anything can cause damage to the lungs. At the end of the day it really is about what’s more culturally accepted. I think we need to stop separating“drugs and alcohol” and just say “drugs” so that we can have a more helpful conversation about the appropriate uses for each of them.
I had a really bad experience with marijuana earlier this year, and it’s been really hard to get through it with my anxiety. I ask anyone who reads this to pray for me❤️ thank you for this video
Jesus is your strength.
May God bless u brother u are not alone. Have had similar terrifying experiences with Marijuana and psychedelics. It was like I opened myself up to some kind of spiritual attack. There's power in the word of God and in Jesus name, access that power
I have a grandson who is going to be a teenager soon, your videos are helping me guide him and give him answers about several challenges young kids face as they grow up. Thank you for touching on several subjects like this one. Please keep in mind that your words will help and are helping guide many young people. Thank you for your mission and for helping us find in your videos the answers to difficult questions.
Great video, Thank you for sharing
You are literally talking about every desire 😂💜
Main thing is to always be looking at yourself in terms of these kind of relationship breaks. Just because you cant have a drink once a week, or take a toke once a week, doesnt mean it effects someone else's relationships.
One important goal of prayer is to STOP looking at yourself...to get to know God by reading Scripture and lives of the Saints and then take time out to LOOK at God, to LISTEN to God. Adoration.
Adoration is impossible when stoned because drugs are masturbatory pleasures. It’s all about how I feel....
God is BIG.
Thank you Fr Marc Mary and Fr Malachy. I really like the weight-lifting in zero gravity analogy. It makes it relatable for teens and young adults.
I really liked how you guys put it out in front street. No ambiguity. We need that.
Does "No drugs" mean no coffee, tobacco, sugar?
I think for tobacco: yes, because it is addicting and harmful. If you are addicted you are not free. And as for the tumors it causes, well: "by their fruits you shall know them" (paraphrasing)
As far as sugar is concerned: no. It is a carbohydrate a type of chemical our bodies consider their primary source of energy. Its not addicting chemicaly and its harmful like just about everything else- in unhealthy amounts ( water is good, too much water can kill you). And if youre thinking of a sugar "high" thats simply a sudden rush of energy that your body metabolised from the sugar, though it goes away rather quickly its not an altered state of mind.
As far as coffe? Im not sure.
Hope this helped at least a bit.
God bless you.
Can you make a video on scrupulousity #askascension
Ive got a hard time with that
I'd enjoy that too! I've had a hard time with that before and what I've heard maybe in the confessional but also from the pulpit is that it's a slap in the face to Jesus who says I forgive you and you think I'm not so sure. In short learn to take yes for an answer!😂
I think I've largely gotten over this but conversely this is happened to me before two or three confessions this year that I assumed forgiveness. The Other Extreme that's bad. I'm sure the priests could give us a lot of insight and wisdom.

What was the problem? Someone religious saying it was bad or were you doing things to damage other people to get marijuana? Because there's nothing wrong with Marijuana its been unfortunately made to be some evil thing by generations of lies. Those same people then turn around and sell you alcohol and tobacco which I don't personally mind the use of but will kill you unlike marijuana unless I guess you choke from laughing too hard.

Not happy that Canada has made it legal. We now have a jungle of marijuana growing in our backyard. My husband has lived in a state of oblivion for 35 years. I've witnessed him going through withdrawal. He refuses to give it up and coughs up a lung every time. And it stinks.
My ex said weed clears his lung every time he coughs up a giant phlegm right after his 1st puff.
I've never heard of someone having withdrawals from cannabis use, what were his withdrawal symptoms?
@@tyan_ldn oh, similar to other drug withdrawals but less so; shaky, sweaty, irritable AF, itchy skin, jumpy nerves...makes one want to light up. that's withdrawals from weed. takes about 3-4 weeks for all that to totally die down and stop esp if a heavy user. less time for less, as I gave it up cold turkey years ago when it was just recreational and not the medical grade we have now. no withdrawals then except a mild desire for about 3 days. with medical grade, it can be bad.
@@tyan_ldn There aren't chemical withdrawals from weed, sure, but I've known multiple people that have psychological withdrawals. Insomnia, lying in bed with cold sweats, intense cravings etc
@@tyan_ldn You can have withdrawals from any addiction and he is an addict. Nausea, moodiness, hot and cold chills. He admitted it was withdrawals. Now if he has to go without he tapers down so he doesn't go through that.
🕊One must keep away from harm's way of toxic Narcotic & Psychotropic substances.
Thank you Fr. Mark-Mary & Brother Malachy.😇
Such a great perspective and experience! Now I have a "concrete" answer to those that I combat with who believe that "there is nothing wrong with smoking or taking weed". God bless you fathers!
Great video!! ❤️🤍🙏🏼🙌🏼
These types of plants can be used as medicine not just recreational drugs. They help with cancer etc. It should be used as medicine only.
Agreed. However, smoking it is counterproductive because you can’t control dosing and are inhaling cancerous chemicals when you smoke it. Better way is to decarb and infuse in oil for sublingual or ingested use. There are ways to do this where you can actually dose the amount of THC you are using.
CodingCrusader1095 not by smoking it. By dosage, I mean, can you tell exactly the milligrams of THC you get from each draw? No.. you can’t. However, it can be infused in oil and can be dosed to 5 mg THC per ml of oil as long as its done properly. This way, if you are working with a medical doctor, you are able to tell them just how many mg. per day you are taking and it’s extremely controllable that way.
He said this was only the recreational use not medical
It doesn't cause mental health like he claims, it's a good natured remedy for treating some of the mental health illnesses.
As medicine only? Ugh, no.
Wow. I like you guys. I’m an alcoholic and have been sober for almost a year in AA. I never liked weed. Lucky me, right? But a lot of my friends smoke weed, including my husband. You (and The Pope) have articulated extremely well the reasons why it’s not good. One of the things I noticed when drunk was the absence of my need for God. It took me a couple days to be humble enough to pray. This was deeply troubling. I couldn’t quit-awful. I struggled many years on and off alcohol for seven years. I have personal experience noticing what an alternate reality did to my soul on a daily basis. I absolutely loved your analogies but particularly loved the best reason; we move away from the answers Jesus reveals to us on our journey. James 1:2 we can’t grow in the way Christ wants us to. Very very good!
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED ❤️😭 thank you so much God Bless Everyone God Is Great Amen!!
Amazing reflection, the only thing I regret is this video was not available when my city council approved recreational marijuana business in my city. My 17 yr old son and I went and spoke to them on behalf of the youth in our city along with many other people from both sides, they ended up approving them.
Well said, Fr. Malachy! I have to decide if my beer drinking is simply a recreation like Jesus and the Apostles drinking wine or is it out of control and hurting my relationship with Jesus? If it starts to hurt then it has to go!
What if it helps, like with ADHD kids allowing them to slow down enough to concentrate? More referring to CBD not the thc aspect.
@@Benderdidit to me that's a medicinal use and is not a method of hiding from issues that they should take to God. I don't think there would be a problem with that kind of medical drug. There's certainly no high involved, no escaping from reality so I would think it would be all right.
@@johnzeitler2922 so as long as it doesn't effect your mind? So beer recreationally or morphine medically is a no go for you?
Steveo r see how the Pharisees always point their fingers outward, and never toward their own evil hearts....
@@RestingBitchface7 I'm asking cause I smoke but I don't see it or feel like it's been bad on me. I use it after work outs.
Great video guys. You kept the objectivity. I have been a user and theres a fine line there. If misused it definitely harmful and lead to addiction which is giving the enemy a gateway to come screw your life up. Don't let ANYONE or ANYTHING become an Idol. Keep Jesus the center of our lives
That was some good stuff right there brothers.
This is by far the best explanation I've heard. Thanks.
I understand the concept of how using weed as a way of “putting ourselves on a higher plane” is wrong because the best way to come in contact with god is to be in touch with reality. But I don’t understand! If you only drink when having fun with your friends and you don’t become an alcoholic it isn’t a sin, but why can’t you just smoke weed when you’re having fun with your friends? Not trying to say it’s totally fine to just be addicted to pot but it’s also not okay to be addicted to alcohol. So as long as you’re not becoming addicted to the use of pot or depending on it for your happiness, what’s so bad about it?
because drugs affects more different than alcohol. A study shows that a lot of people are using drugs and get addicted by it while alcohol, (not in abusive use) is only a part where you drink in a party and probably wont do it again until next occasion..ofcouse alcohol addictions is still bad, because thats where all bad things can start. but alcohol is easier to get rid off than drugs.
Alcohol is actually one of the most addictive and harmful drugs out there. It is just part of our culture, that is why it is widely accepted. Marijuana is far less dangerous than drinking alcohol. Just don't go overboard with any drug- including alcohol. Hitting a blunt once in a while won't hurt you, just use your brains :)
Kuya Jerson Vlogs RealLifeMoments but when your high on weed your vibing when your drunk your not yourself your a different person
@@jacks3483 not really, i guess youl agree that if you want to know something about someone give them a drink and when they get drunk, theyll tell you things
Kuya Jerson Vlogs RealLifeMoments you’re lying.
Alcohol is the #1 contributing factor in all violent crime. And it’s physically impossible to become physiologically addicted to cannabis, meanwhile, those physiologically addicted to alcohol quite often die, either because of DTs or liver failure. Cannabis carries no such risks.
These arguments aren't completely watertight to me. Jesus' first miracle was creating wine out of water at a wedding celebration...we can assume people were freely imbibing and probably drunk. The Catholic church also encourages fasting and we have accounts of Christ and Saints doing prolonged fasts that can also be viewed as altering their mental states, as these often lead to hallucination. People's mental states also alter from day to day depending on their diet, sleep, hormone levels, exercise, external events that influence mood. What even is a clear state of mind?
If the basis of this argument is not letting something else become God to us or alter who we are...then we need to eliminate everything that *might* have negative consequences- what about sugar, alcohol, processed food, exercise, caffeine, youtube?! I just think this is highly personal. Most people with otherwise healthy lives rarely indulge and have not developed a dependency.
This is an excellent comment, a question that really makes you think. Sometimes I do question the validity of those miracle apparitions that saints encountered
This video was great! You definitely helped me to understand the "why" better. Thank you Fathers!

He will never be dead to you. Wait and pray he will be back in touch, in whatever way he can be. Let him go and seek support for yourselves and pray that one day he will recognise the love you have for him.
@@juliemclaughlin68 When you say "support his decision" what do you mean?
What I can share is the parable of the Prodigal Son. Might be because of his confusion in his identity that changes him and doesn’t want to talk. But be always there for him. When I was a “lost” son, my parents were still there and welcomed me. Sometimes I think that I don’t deserve my parents because they still take care of me after everything I’ve done. This kind of love is the one anchoring from God’s unconditional love for us. Don’t stop reaching out for your son. Be someone who pours out God’s love, so he can turn back to righteousness and to you.
Imo that just sounds like he’s hurt by the fact that you didn’t accept his decision. Its a difficult situation but one that you and your family must stand firm on with love in your hearts - like the prodigal son he was the one who has abandoned you and your family, not the other way around, and unfortunately it’s a path that many people take in today’s world. Just pray and have hope and Gods will be done he will come back onto the right path. God bless 🙏

Justin Reid lies
Wonderful explanation ❤️
I’m not sure I’m completely convinced. Everything said about cannabis can be said about alcohol. I find a closer connection to other people while high. I think its biggest danger is when it’s used to escape the problems of this world. I think, like alcohol, it should be a case by case basis. What is sin for one may not be for another.
Nomore4x4s You’re right, some people become psychologically dependent on cannabis if they use it irresponsibly. (ie use it to cope with their problems or to avoid responsibility) I completely agree! I also think a lot of the “weed culture” is sinful. But alcohol can be psychologically and physically addictive, and has an extremely sinful culture associated with it (ie college frat parties)
AMEN to this. God's love and Truth is found in REALITY. With that, if you're going to use medically, Moderation is KEY. Including dosing and frequency of use. This video is awesome because the most important question: "is it bringing me closer to Christ?" ... Medicine is sometimes needed outside of prayer for certain issues, and if we have the resources we should use them. But BE AWARE. Using weed medicinally or recreationally is mentally addictive. "WE WERE MADE FROM FREEDOM" Be vigilant, be careful, and be connected to God. If weed is keeping you from being cognitive at Mass, when praying, when reading scripture, and building yourself up with goals and desires, then it is keeping you from God.
Fr. M...Solid, so solid. 👊🏻Thanks for going to the real question of the heart...
Hint: Answer is behind the incense smoke 🙏🏻🤩. Thanks for your virtues and for tackling the tough questions 👏🏻.
Thank you for this video.
Today, before we go to sleep, let's make a prayer for the people who are slaves because of addiction. 🙏
Please kindly remember my son in your prayers. May our Almighty God's perpetual blessings always surround you.
I agree, that was a great answer. Poco a poco vamos a llegar!
I'd be curious to know what you think about mental health medication? It also helps people cope with feelings & at some point you will "come down" so you have to keep taking it. Just curious...
They can't comment without contradicting themselves and showing their hypocrisy.
