"and declare smoking generally illegal"

Somewhat pregnant. Legal with restrictions is not illegal.

"certain holy roller named Anslinger went on a crusade against it, lying to Congress"

Oh geez, not this $hit again. When was that, in the 30's for crying out loud? Get over it. You're as bad as the democRATS and their "Al Gore is really the President".

In the year 1970, Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act with findings. With some minor modifications, THAT is the law under which we're operating.

Screw Anslinger and the horse he rode in on. He is a non-issue.

Wait, your ox will soon be gored too.

No, I won't. I'm sure "When was that, 1917?" wasn't too comforting to a peasant in the USSR with dreams of freedom.

In the year 1970, Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act with findings.

Which was yet another encroachment on our rights by big government nanny state, passed on the groundwork laid by Anslinger.

Either you support the big government nanny state, or you don't. Don't play moral relativism of being for certain aspects of the nanny state and against others.
