From 1070 BC - 395 BC there were not laws against these
substances. The issue is not that MB will somehow be rendered
unable to govern because of the use of these substances,
it is the fact that it is against the law, and the Mayor is
in a position such that he/she is expected to uphold the law,
even if they do not agree with those laws on a personal level.
That is the issue.
Drug use by the mayor will not destroy the district. A serious
disregard for the law IS destroying the district.
