Smoke anything you want anytime you want: Toilet paper, corn silk, old oily rags anything you can find to roll into a cigarette. It is your choice. Whatever chemical or garbage that can permeate your lungs or body is OK with me. Just keep in mind that your body is your temple and you really shouldn’t clog it up with sewerage. And your friend gave you poor advise 'though it may have been well intended. Would you ask a non-knowledgable person how to stop a hemorrhage if you cut an artery? And just to round it out getting closer to God through the use of chemicals is artificial spirituality. unless Dr. prescribed for a valid health need.

That right there is your answer. Let the Holy Spirit guide you. 🙂 I do not personally thing marijuana use is sinful so long as it’s done responsibly, in moderation (not getting completely blitzed, for example, and keeping use occasional), and legal. I, personally, don’t because I also feel led as you do. Recreational chemicals of any kind (caffeine, alcohol, even sleep aids) when not used for a direct and prescribed reason make me feel convicted. The same is not true for all and I think this is why we have a lot of passages in scripture about moderation, freedom from the law, and using discernment about what goes into the body.
 
Have you ever tried those brownies that you microwave in a mug? They are actually really good.
 
Marijuana - what a crutch !
You’ve been puffing away for ten years ?

Of course it’s a stumbling block.
Your body - is the temple - of The Holy Spirit -
Your poor Holy Spirit is probably coughing away from all that smoke - choking -
not wanting to stay -
don’t grieve the Holy Spirit -

And shame on you - if you cause a Catholic - to imitate your example.

I’d be disgusted - if I smelt marijuana - on a Priest - during confession - etc

11 When I was a child,
I spake as a child, I understood as a child,
I thought as a child:
but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly;
but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
 
Hi,
My boyfriend smoke marijuana. I’m worried about that.
Is vaping it would be better? My doctor recommended me so.
I was choosing on the site Vapingdaily.
Not sure if I should really do that.
Help, please.
 
Just because someone is a devout Catholic doesn’t mean they are necessarily right. If you have given your life to Christ and see this as a stumbling block, then perhaps the Lord is trying to tell you something.

Well, duh. I don’t think anyone is saying people should be smoking 24/7. I assume you’d be similarly disgusted if you went into the confessional and the priest reeked of liquor.
 
I used to smoke a lot of marijuana.

I gave my life to Christ and was baptized.

Now, I am on high on Jesus every day of my life: everything is interesting because God gives me discernment to understand his will and my purpose in Christ.

High on Jesus … yep, it’s a thing …
 
I heard Fr Mitch Pacwa on EWTN radio say that it doesn’t have to be mortal sin. Practice mortification. Don’t loose your free will. Find a confessor you can trust and talk to him about it.

Our Lord is most compassionate and He understands your struggle. It is pleasing to Him when you pick up your cross and follow Him daily…even if you drop it from time to time.
