Yeah right, the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution in an atmosphere where 1960's glorification of drug use was in full force.(/sarcasm)

Sheesh get a grip on history.

They wrote it at a time when there was commonplace (and age unrestricted) inebriation that was acceptable at all levels of society. This was mostly alcohol, of course, but was not restricted to it.

They were well aware of the societal consequences of addiction and irresponsible behavior, yet chose not to make prohibition a part of their documents and/or philosophy.

I get the distinct feeling that historical accuracy is not your strongest suit.

Wow! Really? For some reason I do not think that Adams, Hamilton, Washington, Jefferson, Madison, etc. etc. would be waxing poetically about your glorification of the 80's drug culture.

Oh yeah that's right the Constitution was wrote on hemp and after the signing the Founding Fathers rolled the document into one big doob, where there was a communal pot party, according to you. (/sarcasm)
