Is smoking marijuana a sin?

[qmvsimp]

fix:

I believe MJ is included in the prohibition by the Church.

Not getting enough sleep is not usually intentional, smoking pot is intentional. Intentionally diminishing your ability to make moral choices is a sin.

I do respect your opinion. My reasons for believing it is not is the implied “illegal” or “addictive” or “hard” in front as well as the “grave damage” criteria. We’ve discussed this in earlier quotes. No need to be repetitive here.

Again I agree completely with you. Intentionally diminishing your ability to make moral choices is a sin. This is where I believe small amounts of alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and MJ are moral since I do not believe they diminish your ability to make moral choices.

How many times do we read about people high on alcohol, heroin,cocaine, meth, etc. being violent? They really are hard drugs. How many times do we read about people on caffeine, nicotine or MJ being violent? They really are soft drugs.
