Even a broken clock is right twice a day. He’s right about MJ. Don’t use the stuff, don’t advocate others use the stuff, penalize folks if using dope causes accidents, etc. Otherwise, we should own our own bodies.
“By a free country, I mean a country where people are allowed, so long as they do not hurt their neighbors,
to do as they like. I do not mean a country where six men may make five men do exactly as they like.”

Yeah. And to Hell with all that morality stuff, right?
“We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions which are unbridled by morality and true religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
— John Adams
Yep. If a citizen is productive, shows up for work on time & puts in a good day’s worth - and doesn’t cause harm to anyone else - I don’t really care what they do on their own time.
As far as not wanting to pay for their health issues - that’s a slippery slope. We all do things that could injure us, I don’t think we ought to be policing people’s private lives like that.

Personally, I think booze (a legalized drug) is more harmful than marijuana and I think Porn is more harmful to our society than both of those two drugs combined; and I hear NOBODY calling for the illegalization of Porn, because way more people use porn than both of those two drugs combined.
