Haha.. I got to the exact same point of this post and thought the same.
Good skills to draw the crowd in! We have a backwards gov and won't legalise it anytime soon. Shame really but regarding your post and prohibition I agree that across the board of recreational drug use can ve tackled in so many ways better than the current situation however be proud that the USA have paved the way to that new beginning. . As long as you dont become like Portugal where they decriminalized all drugs. It didnt end too well for rehabilitation of hard drug users amd brought street dealing to an all time high.
I like the way weed had become a solid business for most dedicated growers making the statistics sit more in line with modern times. That once was a "pot head drop out growing weed to fund his habit" is now qualified to run his own business or be employed doing what he/she knows best.. Awesome right? But how would that tackle harder drugs?
