What happened to the mob when prohibition was overturned? They went into other criminal activity.***

Yeah, so what? The mob would be that much bigger if booze were still illegal. Think about it. It's just practical to legalize something that is used as much as pot is. And btw, the founding fathers grew it and there are hundreds of other uses for hemp other than messing up your head. It was even used to make uniforms for the US military at one time. Our founding fathers valued human rights and freedoms over the pseudo-security the drug warriors feel over the current unconstitutional situation.

Oh come on. the hemp used for fabric wasn’t the “mess up your head” kind.
The reason it too was banned was because it made a good cover crop for the illegal crap.
Our founding fathers weren’t potheads.
