I don’t disagree. I am just trying to figure out why we allow alcohol traditionally, but not other chemicals. All I can think of is because alcohol is allowed in the bible. What is your theory?
The bluenonses whose alcohol ban ultimately failed disagreed that alcohol is allowed in the Bible (as many still do to this day). I think the main cause of the difference is that bluenoses tackled a more popular inebriant, and did so at a time when Americans were more jealous of their liberties and had more common sense to observe and learn from the practical failings of Prohibition.
