I have two friends and two family members who use medical cannabis, it has helped them immensely with their medical conditions. They haven’t turned into fiends at all. One only uses the CBD.
Cannabis is amazing medication for epilepsy, chronic pain, muscle spasms, back pain, loss of appetite, nausea, insomnia and many other things by all accounts.

It would be sinful to use illegally for recreational use, but for medical use it is excellent for easing some very bad symptoms, sometimes far superior to modern pharmaceuticals.

I’ve looked into it for my wife’s pain from cancer. The so called experts have not given me a difinitive as to treating it. Her pain doctor is largely against it, probably cause he is a Muslim. He is also against opioids leaving us literally nothing to treat it with besides gabapentin & Tylenol.

That’s insane. Maybe you should consult another doctor about it. A family member had cannabis after a very tough cancer operation and he could not eat or sleep after all the opioid pain killers.

It fixed all of that immediately, could eat and sleep again and helped with the ongoing pain management.

Honestly mate, talk to another doctor, for at least a trial, to see if it suits. It is a genuine medical treatment avenue that works for pain management.

There might be people out there abusing cannabis for recreation, but it shouldn’t disqualify people suffering real cancer pain, holy mackrel.

I was very skeptical until I saw the beneficial effects it had on people suffering. I don’t even take normal medication myself if I can help it, I’ll have an aspirin once every 5 years or so.

I think pharmacy grade opioids are far more dangerous, but they still seem to prescribe them to people like candy.

They give her a synthetic opioid known as Tramadol.its the chemo(2000mg) per day that’s toxic.

Regarding Spiritual Welfare

people will need to fill themselves with the love of Christ ( Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and substitute Jesus Christ for Sin. I was constantly attacked with lust because I worked in NYC and women from everywhere were there living, working, partying…tough to resist. So at my drop off train station at Penn Station I would go into St. Francis of the poor and meditate, sometimes stay for mass, poured out to the priests my lusts, my sins & past sins and that helped because those priests were compassionate and wise in their advice. They also fed most of the poor and homeless in the city. Needles to say, I was at peace there. They provided the ammunition to fight the Devil. Today, when I look into my wife’s face, I see only love and commitment to our marriage. The Catholics have it right to regard Marriage as a sacrument…that marriage commitment is eternal.

My wife’s past experiences with pot rendered her “dopey” and not in control of herself. She doesn’t want to ingest because nobody has told her that it would treat her pain w/o affecting her mentally. Perhaps I’m speaking to the wrong doctors but nobody to date has truly accepted pot as a definitive pain medication.

Prayer, fasting and self denial is how these things are overcome, along with the sacraments, all designed to strengthen us.

"this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting"

The deadly sins are so deadly because they grow, we can’t even have a little bit of them in our lives, they eventually consume the soul.

“ pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony and sloth.”

These things are not fought with human will power like many people think.

These things are fought with Humility amazingly, which is a Grace.

Prayer is a humility and so is fasting.

Prayer is turning to God for help, this is recognising our inadequate nature and total reliance on God and His Grace. A proud man will not pray, the first thing he’ll tell you is that it is for the weak.

Fasting is recognition that we are not self sufficient, Pride is the opposite, it declares itself self sufficient. It is self sufficiency.

Pride is the biggest, toughest and stealthiest member of the gang, attacking it first with humility weakens the whole gang.

They can refine dosages and varieties for different effects I’m told, one guy I know has sativa variety which allows him to function without much cognitive impairment and has a low 50/50 dose with CBD.
