April can effectively make a point in the least threatening or angry manner I've seen. I wish I was better at that.
The history of legalization and prohibition of marijuana is a pretty interesting read.
Here's an article called "Why is Marijuana Illegal?" that gives a timeline of cannibis use and prohibition from 8000 B.C. until now:

And this is a link to the Schaffer Library of Drug Policy. Dr. Schaffer is a fanatic about drug policy, and has academically referenced and cross referenced the history of marijuana policy past and present:
http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/History/whiteb1.htm
And if you're too stoned or lazy to read it, here's my take on what it all says in a nutshell: too much of any drug is bad. Of all the drugs out there, pot is not too bad at all. The biggest thing at risk if you take too much is that 5 pound block of cheese in the fridge. Tillamook cheddar is especially vulnerable.
It also mentions that the history of pot prohibition is just plain silly, and walks you through a history that is hard to believe until you see reference after reference backing up the story.
There is no mention of stretch pants in either of those links, by the way.
