The error in your thinking is believing that you can identify which herbal substances damage someone's integrity when they are imbibed. As has been stated elsewhere, coffee, sugar, and chocolate have a strong stimulative effect on the system. I tried cocaine twice and actually think coffee gives about the same result. So is someone who used cocaine lacking in integrity while a several cup of coffee a day person not?
Some people get loopy on pot, I will readily agree. Some people also get loopy on alcohol while other responsible people enjoy it in moderation with no apparent ill effects. Did Garner exhibit signs of pot addlement?
Inflexible judgment is a problem. Most all of the great thinkers and teachers in history have said as much.
