"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."
Abraham Lincoln (1809-65), U.S. President.
Speech, 18 Dec. 1840, to Illinois House of Representatives

This is my favorite "weed/prohibition" quote. Anyone ever stop to think what they were trying to prohibit in 1840? PROHIBITION AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE OWNING SLAVES. Not only that it just makes lincoln look like a hypocrite. It does carry over but i cant help think that.
