I agree. Those who use drugs for legitimate medicinal purposes are fine. Those who use them to manipulate people are in danger of God’s judgment.

Those who use them for recreation are probably being manipulated.

There does seem to me to be a recognition that wine in proper amounts is ok...and that some influence of the wine on the physiology was recognized as OK, unless it went to drunkenness. For example, Jesus made wine at a wedding in Cana of Galilee.

1 Peter 4:3 KJV For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

Agreed. Wine is obviously not prohibited. The Apostle Paul encouraged its use too:

1Ti 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.

It’s wine in excess that’s forbidden.
