I've never understood the legal aspect of the late 19th century/early 20th century idea --
"People are growing plants, distilling or fermenting plants, putting the result in their body and then they act funny. We should stop that."
"Well, in order to stop that, you'll need a Constitutional Amendment!"

"And another thing, I don't like marijuana."
Oh. Okay. We'll pass a law. Anything else I can do for you today?"

That is a good way to put it. I think it all goes back to the fact that the bible has wine, but doesn’t specifically have marijuana. But such a weird difference in treatment for 2 things I would put on a similar scale.

It was ok to drink alcohol that you made privately. You couldn’t manufacture, transport or sell it during prohibition.
