Toothless is close to right. It was legal until six years AFTER the repeal of Prohibition. That's right. While alcohol was illegal, pot was legal. Given some of the arguments made on this thread, that is an interesting irony.

You clearly haven't taken the time to be informed on this topic. I'd suggest you start by reading a few of the downright comical assertions about marijuana that were used by Congress as the basis for passage of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937. They didn't go quite so far as to say it will turn you into a bat, but close.

Don't forget the testimony from the AMA who said 'we see no reason to do this' and was asked 'why are you trying to stop our work' or something like that.

pesky facts.

The only reason it was legal was because it was only used by a very small percantage of society. Several other mind altering drugs including cocaine and heroine once enjoyed that status. Do not irrelevance for acceptance.
