I totally agree.

In the US it's: Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, like the little baby jesus intended...

Anything else is "Dangerous"...

Genesis 1:29-30 Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth..."

I mean, they pick and choose.

The Roman Empire knew about marijuana from the Scythians and some turkic people, and from South Asia. The Romans rejected those cultures and built professional armies instead. Their drug was alcohol. Christian reformers 500 years after the Fall of the Western Empire stuck with that formula, including alcohol in the Holy Sacrament, explicitly rejecting other substances. Hebrews also rejected other substances but included meat and alcohol -- which are explicitly banned in Hindu-Vedic systems with a vegetarian approach.
