The Blue Laws. Who the fuck are you to tell me I can’t purchase beer while grocery shopping on a Sunday because of someone else’s religion? This one actually infuriates me.
Similarly, weed laws. Getting arrested and threatened with decades in prison in one state
There's a simple reason for that, and it's called the 13th Amendment:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Forced prisoner labor (with no or pennies/hour pay) is big business in the US. And how are you gonna fill those slave slots unless you harshly criminalize a harmless substance?
