Mighty thin reeds on which to hang your distinction. Cocaine is prescribable ... does that mean it's not banned?

How often is it prescribed? Whiskey was prescribed millions of times during alcohol "prohibition."

If these are such thin reeds, why are the pot activists pushing so hard to put the same weaknesses in marijuana prohibition that doomed alcohol prohibition?

How infrequently must a legally-prescribable drug be prescribed before it's "really" banned in your book?

You think Prohibition fell because of alcohol prescriptions?! LOL! Speakeasies, rumrunners ... they all meant nothing. Your FR name is appropriate.
