The Inner Life - September 12, 2024 - Martyrdom [ENCORE]

Check out this powerful Encore show from July 30, 2024!

Father Joseph Johnson joins Patrick to discuss Morality of Recreational Drugs
11:07 relationship between laws and morality
11:17 Joe - What are Father's thoughts on the use of Native American psychedelic drugs?
How do we respond to someone who says that drugs make them more creative?
Dawn - I grew up in a home with alcoholic parents and I had a brother who had alcoholism. It had a bad impact in my life. Marijuana is also bad.

Break 1
Jake - I wanted to thank the guest for stating that there's no benefits to marijuana
11:37 Grace - My brother used psych drugs. It was great at the beginning but then it got bad.
11:30 Clare - I am a mental health counselor and I've been so surprised by how many people have drug-induced psychosis from eating too many edibles.
Will - Drugs are so widespread- esp. the opioid epidemic. Those that don't do drugs might not know how bad it is.

Break 2
John - I'm a child of the 60s and I lived in Florida and worked in Miami. I wound up with a nasty cocaine addiction. My addiction led to divorce. I'm very concerned about the impact of addiction. Homelessness is often the result of destroyed marriages.
11:55 Mandi - My dad struggled with drug addiction. After my mom died, my dad got back into drugs and ended up homeless and on the street. It was only through the Chaplet of Divine Mercy that he got sober. His mom did drugs with him in the womb.
