  You do realize that your providing sources for someone else who didn’t doesn’t make them less emotional, nor my original post “ironic” for not knowing your sources.

  I stand by my original post, which was a cursory google search of us history.

  Thanks for providing sources.

  However, my ultimate point that it was never a gateway drug and bans were consistently protested remains.

  Is your point that I’m wrong for not knowing everything because I said “Here’s what I found, stop being emotional and show me what you found.”?

  Good day.

  You’re going to have to provide some source for it being illegal. Arguably, it was contentious in the 30s, but the first official ruling was 1970.

  It also seems like you don’t understand that it being banned 50 years ago is not the same as it being banned for 50 years.

  It was banned in 1970, but 3 years after, states pushed back.

  Alcohol was banned in 1920, and 13 years later, it was unbanned.

  You are coming across as very emotional about this, but you are showing how little you have researched. I don’t have time to bring you up to speed if you are only going to keep your fingers in your ears while you shut your eyes and scream how right you are.

  Have a good day.

  After a quick search through us history, alcohol was banned around a decade before marijuana and lasted for about 13 years. The marijuana ban that we all know of happened, get this, in 1970, and states began pushing back only 3 years after. So, alcohol was banned far longer than marijuana. The d.a.r.e. campaigns and other propoganda coupled with the inability to do scientific studies on the drug created the mass panic. There were not serious problems, other than some politician needing a platform.

  Add some quality of life to this by installing multi-layer plastic sheets with perforation at the wall for easy cleanup when you forget whether your current shoes are indoor or outdoor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed.

  The carpet is for my comfort, I’m not hosting it.

  This reminds me of a similar discussion on reddit, years ago, about garbage disposal care: The absurdity argument was someone referencing a plumber who told them that the only thing that should ever go into the disposal is water.

  Defintely not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think an intern helps them tie their shoes too⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol. That’s why I kept a recycle bin next to my desk; “empty” it in the AM, “fill it” on my way out. Didn’t waste paper because it was the same scrunched balls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think an intern helps them tie their shoes too⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah…

  Used to be a document controller for a QA dept. My manager sent me emails to print out for him and then wanted them scanned back into the computer so they were saved as .pdf

  I “definitely” didn’t just print to .pdf and sit at my desk most of the day.
