Tobacco, alcohol, and caffine all have psychotropic side effects. Tobacco is a mood stabilizer and a stimulant. Caffine is a stimulant, and taken in large enough quantities can have some hallucinogenic properties (ask someone whose taken too much No-Doze). Alcohol, of course, is a massive depressant.

In less than an hour, alcohol can inhibit your ability to drive, lowers your cognetive skills, and can depress your entire system to a point where your heart will stop.

Marijuana is a depressant, and an appetite stimulant at the same time. It would take a truly super-human effort to OD on it. Does not need to be swallowed, and kept down, like orally administered appetite drugs. The plant itself has textile qualities that rival wood pulp, soybeans, and cotten together.

I would say that those who would worry about a speck in their neighbors eye, has some log farming of their own to do.

Galatians...chapter 5

13] For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
[14] For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[15] But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
[16] This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
[17] For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
[18] But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
[19] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
[20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
[21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
[22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
[24] And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
[25] If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
[26] Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Gal.6

[1] Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
[2] Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
