The government's drug-reform policy is driven by a Fundamentalist Christian sense of morality that sees any of these illegal substances used as evil

What does Christianity, fundamentalist or otherwise, have to do with it? If you believe that God created the world basically as it is, you should be at least as apt to favor legal pot as if you don't. Lord knows there are a lot of hippie-like Christians who feel that way.

It's Islam, not Christianity, that forbids intoxicants, part of its whole theology of complete submission to God. Judeo-Christianity is far more interested in sexual purity than in avoiding intoxication. Wasn't Jesus' first miracle turning water to wine for a wedding party?

It's Islam, not Christianity, that forbids intoxicants,

Actually Islam revels in hallucenogenics such as the marijuana deriviative hashish. Alcohol is banned in Islam.

Another "religion" that revels in marijuana is Rastafarianism. A religion whose dogma about white people is just as racist as the kkk.

Yeah, and the first thing Noah did in the 'new world' was to take a few years off, grow a vineyard, get sloppy drunk and his son sodomized him...there are interesting studies from the Word about intoxication and what kind of 'wine' Jesus turned water into. Grape juice, the 'new wine' of the scriptures, was commonly served - not always the fermented 'old wine'.
