In a country that has legalized (not even decriminalized!) marihuana, a still present full-ban on moonshine paints an interesting picture on legislative process
In the U.S., heroin, LSD, and marijuana are the same federal schedule. Have to fill the for-profit prison labor camps somehow, and admitting dealing marijuana isn’t as dangerous as dealing heroin would put a dent in that. Leave that to the corporate opioid peddlers legally addicting Americans in pain.
