in thread coding under the influence

And it's "all natural" so it's OK with God, even though the governemnt devils may disagree.

I don't know about that... tobacco is all natural, as is deadly nightshade, hemlock, etc. Take some of those, and you'll be seeing God sooner than you thought ;-). Still, I agree with your main point about the hypocrisy of the US government in banning natural, fairly harmless substances as heathen devil weed, while promoting tobacco and all the various legal drugs (which quite often are more dangerous than the illegal ones).

    I second that to all extents except that I as far as I'm concerned I'd remark that the US government is not unique in regularly practicing this form of hypocrisy. Here in Italy it's just the same and I think really most national governments share it, promoting the use of terribly dangerous or unethical but legal substances, social practices, operating systems and to some extent even programming languages (to keep on topic!) while prohibiting or discouraging others with no clear cut distinction on actual merit and perils involved.
