Marijuana use is probably considered drug abuse, but I never found anything abusive about it. BTW, I'm reading <i>Joker One</i>, about a Marine platoon in Iraq. In the book, one of the author's men runs afoul of what the author says is the Marine's zero tolerance policy for alcohol use. Needless to say, I was thunderstruck by this. Sure ain't the Corps I was in. Chesty must be spinning in his grave as he famously said that the Corps should take the milk machines out of the chowhalls and put in beer machines. Autre temps, autre goddamned chose, I guess. But, Jesus. Hmmm. Marijuana use is probably considered drug abuse, but I never found anything abusive about it.
