Since at least 20 signatories of the Constitution grew tobacco, I somehow suspect they would be highly displeased, even aside from philosophical/constitutional considerations.

As another poster noted: a black market will thrive.

These morons never learn that prohibition of popular substances, under whatever rubric, increases crime and doesn't begin to stop the behaviour ''prohibited''.

They would think that the Tree of Liberty was parched and famished.
