Surely common sense has to prevail eventually. As a way of giving the racist police a way to arbitrarily arrest black people since it was in common use only among blacks. It was a tool of KKK think. To this day, marijuana laws are selectively enforced against blacks. We keep it illegal based on myths about the drug's dangers.
Christians have a fundamental distrust of anything pleasurable.
Attorney General Ashcroft thinks dancing is wicked simply because it is fun. Kristians think they have a right to make everyone else as miserable as they are. They imagine they are everyone else's mother with a God given right to tell everyone else what to do. Unlike tobacco and alcohol, nobody has ever died from smoking marijuana, other than as a result of impaired driving. The war against marijuana is very costly, in terms of drug enforcement and the destruction of lives of the people who would not be criminals if marijuana were treated realistically.
