I don't see any reason to keep it illegal in the US.  I don't smoke it myself, but I also don't see why it's illegal, especially when you consider how much more dangerous some legal substances are.  Often I find that arguments against it's legalization are based on logical fallacies and outright lies.

When you go up to receive communion, you're literally at the foot of the cross.  Standing at all creation's center, the saints gather around.  Martyrs, heroes staring into your very being.  They lived AND died for Christ... can we say the same of ourselves?  What are WE doing to further God's will in this life?  Skipping Mass for our careers?  Our education?  Voting for heads of state, that don't recognize the source of all authority and power?  They won't matter on your deathbed (or whatever end we meet). 

So... why waste time with this modern world's nonsense?  We have our own civilization: CHRISTENDOM.  We must restore it whilst the modern world commits societal suicide. 

Its naive and idealistic to believe government for man by man can succeed.  Restore Christendom in our hearts and homes!  Communities aren't that far off, its a numbers game.

I don't smoke it either, but I agree. I also think its ridiculous that it's a sin. It's a heck of alot less harmful than alcohol( which I do consume)

Ppl have been smoking it for hundreds of years. We have a pretty good idea of the effects. Pot heads are alot less offensive than alcoholics

I don't see how pot is a mortal sin unless used in a gluttonous way.  Same with alcohol. 

The only thing that can be said, I think, to be inherently sinful is when pot is illegal and is then smoked, as we're obliged to follow the laws of a country, as long as they're just.  Having pot be illegal may be inconvenient or a real bummer, but it is not "unjust."  Not by a long shot.

If it was legal I think it would come down to how it was used as far as sin goes, right? Drinking in excess can be a mortal sin if loss of reason occurs or harms those around you. I would assume same goes for marijuana. I don’t think the argument should be alcoholics vs. pot heads since neither is good (all things in moderation).

As President/King/dictator, I would legalize it, strictly regulate it (only approved, licensed vendors, no advertising allowed), and make a total killing from the profits.

Were there any pre-V2 church docs that specifically mention the stuff?
