We know prohibition didn't work but this time will be different?

Because progressivism is just another political orientation rather than the political outlet of only 'science-based' policies it's proponents always tout. If this was applied in Canada we would have a proliferation of craft cannabis stores, but cigar shops would be in planned obsolesce.
Progressives:
Pot = Cool
Tobacco = White trash and should be eliminated
Ideally both would be legal and commercial but regulated as they are both recreational substances that have negative health effects. Personally I don't know why Aurora can send me a twitter ad showing it's new beautiful Whistler mountain grown Indica product now with 26-27%THC, but Cohiba can't advertise their cigars, but I guess this is where we are.
