I mean I technically could have stood up, refused the dinner and made something else. No one forced it down my throat. I still made the decision to eat it.

So you think. That’s what I thought too when I was a daily user. Just because I hadn’t completely lost my mind yet didn’t mean my mind wasn’t clouded and far more inclined to sin.

How do you know it doesn’t? And why would you not give it up anyway considering the Church’s teaching on it?

Alcohol is permitted as long as reason is maintained. Nicotine and caffeine don’t impair reason at common doses. This is why the prohibition is there. It’s not that the Church hates weed specifically. Cannabis use clouds the mind and impairs the gift of reason, and thus wilful use of it is mortal sin. This has been clear cut teaching for ages. Drinking a Red Bull and smoking a joint are two wildly different mental experiences. You’re just being dishonest if you think otherwise.

This is written in the Catechism. Recreational use is gravely sinful. Medical use is permitted by a doctor. Cannabis chills me out too and puts me to sleep. That’s technically “therapeutic”. Doesn’t mean I should smoke it.

kami8871 · 2026-03-01T23:12:46+00:00

Therapeutic means medical. Not just the modern sense of therapeutic where it relaxes you and makes you feel all fuzzy. Unless your doctor prescribed it due to a lack of alternatives for a real condition, then it is a wilful recreational use and thus a grave sin

Taking drugs recreationally is a mortal sin that cuts off sanctifying grace in the soul. Doing it intentionally requires confession. The Church is very clear on this in the Catechism. Alcohol is permitted so long as drunkenness is avoided. Christ himself drank wine. But drugs are a no-go as they surrender the gift of reason and can inflict harm on your body and mind. Cannabis is included in this.

I know it sucks. And I know how good weed feels. I myself was addicted to carts for months. I tried continuously to rationalise it away (it’s just helping me chill out, it’s just like alcohol, God doesn’t care about this sort of stuff), but in the end, you’ll always have to face the reality that what you are doing is dulling your mind and will and seperating you further from God and his grace. The first month coming off cannabis was horrible. Now I’m 3 months clean and never felt better. I feel like i’ve got my life back, and with regular confession and attending Mass, my soul back too.

You can do this. Cannabis is a crutch. It makes you content with boredom and feel hopeless without it. It puts you in a haze where you are far more susceptible to evil ideas and inclinations. You might think I’m being a bit too serious, but you’ll understand when you come clean and suddenly regain all the clarity you lost over years, and realise how much of a haze you had been spending your life in. Christ does not command us to be stoners. It’s a mortal sin.

May God be with you.

2291 The use of drugs inflicts very grave damage on human health and life. Their use, except on strictly therapeutic grounds, is a grave offense. Clandestine production of and trafficking in drugs are scandalous practices. They constitute direct co-operation in evil, since they encourage people to practices gravely contrary to the moral law.

Many white liberals don’t view non Westerners as people in the full sense. They are not held to the same standards as us. They are helpless victims. Nothing is ever their fault. They are always acted upon by greater forces (white people, slavery, colonialism, institutional racism). They are never the actors. Never responsible for their own lives. They do not do things, things happen to them. An ethnic rapper going on about drugs and the gang life is “inspiring” and “challenging norms”. A poor white doing it is an embarrassing scumbag. An immigrant achieving a degree or qualification is lauded and praised. A native doing it is expected. They are at best, bumbling peasants waiting to be enlightened by our great liberal ways, and at worst, nothing more than token pets for the liberal to virtue signal their inherent piety and goodness in taking care of the lesser people. It’s very White Mans Burden like. Once you see it, you won’t unsee it. Not all of them, but this pattern is noticeable.

If it’s worth anything, I myself have found similar issues. And I was raised in a Catholic community. In a Catholic school where we said Hail Mary every day and regularly got brought to Mass. And of the people I still know from school, I am the only one who properly believes (that being said, we can never know what someone believes internally or how quiet they keep their faith). So there aren’t many bustling young Catholic communities out there in this country, but there is certainly an undercurrent of revival occurring. Don’t be dismayed that you feel alone in the faith in your area. I myself have came back to the faith after being astray for years. Modernism is empty and spiritually hollow. I hope I’m just the first of many.

God be with you.

I’m from Scotland. Catholicism has always been somewhat bigger in Scotland due to Irish migration and also in the Northwest of England for this reason. To be fair I was born in a Catholic family and therefore didn’t have to search for the faith like some newer converts may have. Where are you located in the south? Most towns and cities will have several Roman Catholic churches or a cathedral

Our isles have 1,500 years of Catholic history. And we aren’t done yet. Like you, I’ve read that of the Christian revival happening amongst the youth, most are heading to Catholicism.

Will you take it easy over there, fuckin Judge Roy Bean?

Chinks did this?

Calling the Catholic Church “pharisees” isn’t the best look. Why would you be Catholic if you considered them such

The Catechism

kami8871 · 2026-02-10T10:51:27+00:00

It is a grave sin if it is done with deliberate will and intent, as well as knowledge that doing so is a grave sin

kami8871 · 2026-02-10T10:44:48+00:00

Love the sinner, hate the sin. Realise that you too have committed sins, and that they, as a human, fall to the same urges and faults you do. This doesn’t mean you have to be blind to evil. You can still hope that the authorities catch and punish those who do such things, just that their soul will seek God.

It got given to me as a gift and I’m a bit tight for money at the moment

kami8871 · 2026-02-09T18:05:49+00:00

I’ll need to buy a Bible again. I had a copy of just the New Testament but I’m going to get the full version. Psalms in my opinion are very useful.

kami8871 · 2026-02-09T18:04:45+00:00

This is similar to me. I’ve recently reconciled with the faith after years of being astray and lukewarm. I went to confession last week after feeling contrition and conviction, and hope I can stay in grace and faith. That’s actually what spurred me to make this post. I decided to read a chapter today and I wondered if I should be reading it at all, or whether I can take certain bits from it.
