Drugs! Drugs! Drugs!

There were a lot of reasons for the 1937 Tax Act. One of the theories is that a decent percentage of potential booze hounds switched to weed during prohibition, and didn't go back after the repeal. The recovering beverage industry wanted their customers back, and pushed for the ban. Alongside the anti-Mexican sentiment and the fear that pot would force hip black jazz musicians to violate white girls and kill their boyfriends.

Sadly we did have a small percentage of loons who truly believed that last point -- and far more who were willing to use it as an excuse.

See I think drugs have done good things for us, I really do.
And if you don't believe that drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor.
Go home tonight, take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your cds and burn them.
'Cause you know what, the musicians who made all that great music that has enhanced your lives throughout the years?
Real ******* high on drugs.

Another vote for legalize and tax.

My drugs of choice are coffee and wine. I've been down to one (large) cup of coffee a day for a few years now, but I'd die without it. I've been on Vicodin (made me nauseous) and Percoset (really ed up dreams) and hated both, I'd never take them for fun! I had IV Dilaudid when I had my appendix out and let me tell you, it was awesome. If that stuff came in pill form, I'd probably have a problem.
