Our stupid prohibition laws

Did you know this?

Pot was legal until around 1937. When Congress was debating whether to make it illegal, they were subjected to the lobbying by two organizations:

The American Medical Assn, who wanted to keep it legal.
The American Pharmaceutical Assn, who wanted to make it illegal.

That says something, doesn't it?
Nope, I don't use it. Never have. But I sure want it available if I ever get cancer.
