Since heroin and cocaine are controlled for “public safety”, then why are tobacco and alcohol not?

Could it be that the gubmint gets too much income from the tobacco/alcohol industry in taxes and kickbacks?

The gross hypocrisy of it all is disgusting. How did prohibition fail where the WOD is succeeding?

Also, why did prohibition REQUIRE the passage of an Amendment to the Constitution while banning drugs somehow did not?
