"We confess our little faults to persuade people that we have no large ones." - François de La Rochefoucauld -
Weed is illegal because a small enough number of people light up.
Alcohol is legal because so many drink.
We've tried prohibition on both.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

The two events in beer history that year...Originally posted by DanS
What happened in 1862?
Internal Revenue Act taxes beer at the rate of one dollar per barrel to help finance the government during the Civil War.
New York breweries form an association that would officially become the United States Brewers Association.
It's possible that it was an Ad from the USBA
Keep on Civin'

No way. Cool. Learn something new on Poly every day.
Further reason to reunite OT with History.

The reason it's not legal is the waiting for a test to be developed for cops pulling a person over and determining if they're under the influence.
That's what a cop told me anyway. He also said it's close.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Terrific. Bring back Prohibition. The next thing you know, our cities will be overwhelmed with gang violence and drive-by shootings. ....oh wait.Originally posted by snoopy369
I'll agree that alcohol is worse ... but i'd support both being banned, not both being legal

That's what I've thought for a while. The lack of a comparable test to the breathalizer is a real problem.Originally posted by SlowwHand
