I am not in disagreement with you regarding cocaine or meth or other hard drugs.

The development and popularization of which were caused by the prohibition of the less harmful ones.

I agree entirely there. With pot selling for over $200 an ounce, kids nowadays are often doing harder drugs that are cheaper. I personally would rather kids do weed than meth or ectasy or coke or heroin, if they are going to do drugs. But our federal drug policy has had the opposite effect.

I learn something every day. Here I thought the opiates were banned in the 1920's, 10 years before the restrictions on marijuana.
