    A cute parody, but blissfully disassociated from reality.

    I would like to think that we learned about the effects of prohibition in the 1920s, but apparently we didn't.

    I don't smoke pot, but criminalizing a popular drug has several obvious side-effects:

    • Encourges lawbreaking
    • Decreases respect for the law
    • Criminalizes a broad swath of citizens
    • Incarcerates citizens who could be contributing to the economy
    • Deprives states of tax revenue
    • Incentivizes a level of policing and incarceration that is helpful to nobody

    And most importantly ...

    • Leaves a giant WELCOME mat for organized crime
