By that logic alcohol and tobacco gotta go wholesale. They are the most destructive and addictive and its not just because they are the only legal options. The mental dichotomy people make in differentiating alcohol/tobacco and DRUGS is asinine. They are the worst and they point out how ridiculous the entire regime is. Its also annoying as fuck there are moron cops setting medical and pharmaceutical manufacturing policy at the national or any level.

Might as well throw caffeine (coffee in particular) into that barrel as well if we are talking about addictive substance many of us casually use daily.

The point is its ridiculous to be wading in all this arbitrary nonsense. Why the heck else would Jefferson have been growing poppies at Monticello if he didn't intend for people to be able to grow and possess opium. Thats some 20th century bullshit after they screwed the pooch with alcohol prohibition TWICE, no?
