   	No pot heads did it on all sides of the political labels.   
   	Some things reasonable people can agree upon.  It would make   
   more sense to outlaw high proof hard liquor or to put aspirin on   
   restricted status.  Statistically and in real life alcohol and   
   aspiring kill more people than Cannabis products.

   	I think you have that right.  Want to save lives and take something   
   they want away from people try confiscation of firearms and   
   long knives.  Probably have the same result as the Prohibition of   
   Alcohol which enriched criminal entrepreneurs and made the people   
   foolish about booze.  [Take a look at the Thin Man movies to see a   
   reflection of the society it engendered.]   
      
   	Back in 1916 the Harrison Narcotics Act was passed by idealists   
   and that is why people today are dying from Fentanyl which is part of   
   the rule of unintended consequences.  If people had been properly   
   educated in regard to drugs the situation would only be slightly   
   alleviated but instead we have careless use of strong medications.   
      
   	In 1937 Harry Anslinger got cannabis outlawed when he estimated   
   the number of users as less than half a million.  Since it was mainly   
   used by out groups, black people. brown people, jazz musicians etc.   
   and the mood of the day called for the suppression of these non-white   
   mostly, parts of society the bill easily passed and was signed without   
   remark by FDR.  The result of this attempt at keeping people from the   
   stuff they want was the many fold increase in users which is why   
   cannabis prohibition laws are being overturned.
