National marijuana prohibition is dead and it's not coming back.

Intrastate mj regulation is now under the control of states, as it used to be and should have been all along per the Tenth Amendment.

States should ban it

Prohibition does not work. This is good news for a free people, in spite of the hysterical claims of those that learned everything they know about marijuana from an old episode of Dragnet.

Oh it’ll come back. The freedom - control pendulum swings back and forth. Won’t come back in our lifetime, but it’ll be back.

If the feds had stayed out of the whole area of drug prohibition we would live in a very different America without gangs, probably without police acting as arbitrary smash and burn squads, without drug cartels, with a much more manageable border and much lower levels of drug consumption. Drug prohibition has accomplished one thing that alcohol prohibition accomplished and that is the concentration of the banned substances. It is easier and more profitable to bring in mj with a much higher concentration of THC than the field weed that was the norm way back when. As to alcohol we really went from a beer drinking nation to a whiskey drinking one. It is cheaper and safer to bring in a gallon of alcohol as high proof whiskey than it is to bring it in as beer.
So the mj on the street now is many times more powerful than the Maui Wowee of a generation ago.
