The actual benefits and drawbacks of it, when compared to other substances, is completely irrelevant.  It doesn't matter that it's less harmful than alcohol.  It doesn't matter that the sale of 20oz drinks, via readily available machine after machine, poses a much greater health threat.  It only matters that the ideal is "I'm against drugs" and the facts be damned when compared to alcohol.

And God help us if they ever did apply this logic and prohibition evenly across the board.  You might as well be living in M. Night Shamadamalalalala's  The Village.  Puritan people everywhere, no drinking, no smoking, no tang before marriage, nothing. 

We've been indoctrinated.  "Reefer Madness" did it's job.  That said, sugar has been my biggest downfall.  I'm literally addicted to that shit.  

But no worries.  You can't get high off sugar.
