Exactly wrong - for most of those ten generations there were no laws against drugs.
I'm not backing down on "anything" I wrote. Period.
Sure, cannabis and opium were all around.
I think you just did back down from your claim that ten generations were 'in a "no legal drugs" world.'
It's just that the people with the "most pivotal" ACCOMPLISHMENTS had the morals (read "horse sense") ...
to NOT be pot heads or opium addicts.
There you go: drugs were legal, individuals were free to choose, and many made the better choice. That's what I advocate.
Laws don’t get passed until problems arise, when drugs became a problem in the 1800s, drug laws started getting passed.
When polygamy became a problem we started seeing polygamy laws.
