What if Ralph Nader won?
Legalized Marijuana. What if that happened? 99.9% of Christians' consciences would feel guilty for smoking it, but why? If it was legalized, what would be wrong with smoking it? We intake so much stuff that alters our state of being already: sleeping pills, benedryl, sugar, wine, adderol, prozac. (By the way, I've never smoked weed so I'm not trying to justify my actions.) What makes weed so much more unholy than prozac or sleeping pills or caffeine? Honestly, I'm not that convinced that responsibly taking a substance in order to feel more at peace or more relaxed or more temporarily happy is unpleasing to God. I could easily see someone enjoying this feeling at the expense of marijuana while thanking God for the feeling produced by something he created ("For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with Thanksgiving"?).........................assuming it becomes legal.
I am not pro-drugs or pro-controversy; I am pro-questioning why something seems wrong and not abstaining from it just because church or parents told you so.

Well if Ralph Nader won, there'd be a giant sucking sound of all our cheap goods going away, and American companies having less markets for the high end finished goods we produce, (with the repeal of NAFTA) and we'd all be poorer so we might need a little chemical help to console ourselves.
It seems like it'd be in the same category as alcohol Biblically?
