Exactly. Yet there was no legal prohibition, and nowhere does the Bible advocate for it. So how does scripture justify prohibition of drugs or alcohol under secular law?

Proverbs 30

6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine for those who are in anguish!
7 Let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.

There are plenty of admonitions against being a drunk but this one makes you pause for a minute.
