Reply #12: Everybody who's been to live concerts [View All]

before and after St Ronnie and his New Prohibition will remember how shows went from gatherings of red-eyed out-of-it stoners to drunken melees of fireworks, fistfights, and vomit in the aisles. That illustrates it pretty plainly, I think.

The worst part of it, is that there isn't anyone in Congress or the Executive branch who hasn't had a taste. The hypocritical fuckers know that weed makes you drive like a nervous grandma or spend an afternoon plumbing new depths in a song you've heard 10,000 times before, instead of punching your buddy for looking at your girlfriend. Yet, cocktails at the White House are still high-toned affairs, and the societal costs of alcohol are off loaded onto the rest of us ("Designated driver.", "Friends don't let friends drive drunk.", "Take away the keys").
