What's odd to me is that this issue hasn't gone away yet. If the majority of today's prominent lawmakers were born from 1940-1960 (safe assumption?), then those people would likely have been around marijuana in their lives and have some first hand knowledge about it. Realistically, I have to think that most of today's state legislators have gotten high a time or two and would know that it's relatively harmless, certainly no more harmful than alcohol. I find it all very strange.
