If a person does not think he is doing any wrong, he will not likely change. That truth, as much as anything, explains why the war on drugs has failed (supposing it has failed).
Even cocaine addicts, too often, think they are quite okay using cocaine. But, it is marijuana users I speak of most. We cannot expect them to turn from a drug if they are convinced that drug does no harm.
In church circles, we speak of confessing and acknowledging a sin as being one of the steps of repentance. Why should we not see that the same principle applies to overcoming drugs? No one is likely to quit if they do not see the harm being done. And, however do we expect them to see the harm when a good half or more of us say marijuana should be legalized?
