You potheads are a mixed up ball of confusion. Alcohol's history goes way back even in America. While potheads have become numerous only since the 1960s. You won't find pot mentioned in the Bible but many references to wine and the wine is honored.

Pot is never (rarely if ever?) mentioned in the classic works of Western literature yet alcohol is. Libertarians come down as destroyers of Western cultural traditions which fits in great with your acultural, ahistoric, atomistic, ego tripping philosophy of me, my and mine. At the same time you seek to elevate poisons that are foreign to Western tradition. Poisons such as heroin, crack and methedrine. Pot is the drug for the stupid and you want to elevate and equate it with alcohol. Few buy this garbage.

There was a time when it could have been argued that "There is a long honorable history of slavery in our Western society back to the Bible and beyond." Was that a good reason to not end slavery? The bottom line is that if marijuana is harmful enough to ban, then alcohol is doubly so. But Prohibition failed and the War On Some Drugs is failing; we were wise to end the former and would be wise to end the latter.

You didn't respond to anything I wrote. It seems you WODdies are a mixed up ball of confusion.

Just remember, alcohol has killed more people, destroyed more families than any drug in history....Alcohol is a mass murdering drug....Ask any seasoned cop......
