With all respects, if his two Vietnam buddies had been passed out from alcohol instead of hashish, would he propose a reinstatement of alcohol prohibition like we had in the 1920s? Children should not drink alcohol. Neither should they drive a car before age 16. And 15-year-old girls should not have sex until they grow up and get married. The problem with the "Just Say No to Drugs" message is that it draws no distinction between adults and children, use and abuse or legal (alcohol) and illegal (cannabis). It's just a blurry slogan with no coherent thought. Cannabis should be taxed and regulated like alcohol and moderation, which is the biblical teaching, should be emphasized.
