yea seems like a blanket statement

To take hallucinogenics is to tamper with your God-given reason, which would be sinful.

Don't do drugs, my niggas in Christ.

Perhaps, Alcohol can deviate from your reason but that's only sinful in excess

What has Francis said about pot?

Or the Church in general?

Fr. Ripperger has also said that moderate alcohol consumption can bring graces, or something of the sort. Maybe he said that drinking, but not getting drunk, while in a state of grace can be good. Not sure what he meant as grace can only come from God, right?

ill get a timestamp

1:20-3:00

Father ripperger is mostly correct in this. Alcohol is mercurial. It allows one to step outside oneself to get a clearer perspective

There are many substances which can do something similar however many of them all so bear with them addiction which both limits their usefulness and forces sin upon the user

indeed

the major problem of course is that the average layman cannot discern any of that for himself therefore it should just be banned as a blanket rule. dickey people who are not in the know or not studying these things from dabbling in something they shouldn't

Maybe, but psychedelics aren't de facto banned right now and I don't really know any other catholics that have done it, also I don't think anybody would have an interest in using them unless they thoroughly researched them, and was fairly familiar with the supernatural. It's not something a person with good judgment or prudence would just jump into.

....have you met potheads? Lol

Yea, but they tend to be pretty deluded when it comes to theology or the supernatural in general

Potheads are stupid. How can someone fall addicted to that shyet?

I wouldn't put potheads in the same category

I can understand if someone uses it once a while but most of the time? Doesn't that dumb you down?

consistent use blocks ur dreaming

so no thanks

Constant use doesn't block dreaming but does slow your thinking.

Tell you what though. Hitting a piece of information you can't understand for like two days, then smoking and retrying to learn it can help. At least with scripture and spiritual things. But I'd never recommend that

bruh

I've always wanted to try marijuana just for the experience, but I've seen how it makes people retarded.

You're not going to turn retarded after 1 cone

Well you will temporarily but that's the point

I dunno.

My dad's a pothead so.

I just have an aversion

Yeah well we all do

It's the devil's lettuce smh

I prefer moderate drinking anyhow.

If you have family issues with addiction pls don't do pot. If you're doing it for the experience only. Please don't do pot

Use it to boost understanding or prayer only imo

I used to be a pothead

Then you know it's mostly retarded as is pot culture

Now I'm just an alcoholic <:eksdee:558283291292336138>

Actual rastafarianism is pretty based but you know college fags aren't into actual worship

F
