"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

You ban and tax the same way you do with smoking...tobacco. Can't smoke it anywhere these days, but they'll let you buy it with much of the price going to the government.

BTW, anyone else notice the odd phenomenon of a rash of "legalizing for the sake of taxing" marijuana stories these past couple days? It looks like many of the very same people that take the time to exhibit their displeasure whenever there's a whiff of smoke around (manufacturing disapproving coughs and waving their hands at imaginary smoke curls in the air) do not fear the primary or secondary smoke of wacky tabacky. There's a cloud of hypocrisy wafting in from the horizon.

You don’t get it. Obama can tell if we cling to our cokes and root beers, and he will tax us for having bad thoughts. Of course, he will adhere to all FISA requirememnts before peering into our souls. He promised!
