What changed our use of booze and cigarettes? Education and shame. Education and shame (peer pressure), one of the few if not the only way to really change society.... Unfortunately for us our government seems to be insane. It continues to do the same thing over and over expecting a different result.... Prohibition has never worked and never will, what it has done though is almost destroy S. America (as if they need our help) among many other things. Just a few months ago there was a medical marijuana bill before congress. Even though my district is in favor of this bill, (along with the rest of California), our so called representative (D.Hunter) voted against it much to my anger and disappointment. If we can't even get a humane bill like that passed what are the chances of prohibition ever being removed on anything?,.,,.,, about zip I'd say.
