What are some good ways to get a scenario whith a POD post 1933 where the pro-Marijuana legalizing and anti-tobacco lobbies(I have this happening in the For Want of A Carter TL I'm working on right now which has a POD in the nixon administration which leads to Carter being assasinated with lots of changes begining from there)(this really could happen with the millenial generation I mean 80% or more of the kids at my high school have done it...)
some things for the TL
1 the legalization of marijuana, the anti-tobacco and *bonus* temperence/MADD/evangelizal types working together(420 points)
2 the legalization movement has more strengh/suceeded(100 points)
3 the war on drugs is the same for all the other drugs *bonus* if you extend it ot have tobacco/alcohol banned by the year 2001(10 points and a 200 bonus for banning tobacco/alcohol)
4 Marijuana being touted as a safer alternative than tobacco or alcohol(Iv;e been in the car with stoned drivers before and its nowhere near as bad as drunk drivers)(20 points)
bonus points if you get these in it
6 Hemp-based drinks being promoted as an alternative to alcohol
7 Public laws against smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol in many public building but lesser laws against marijuana usage than for tobacco(25 points)
8 tobacco is looked down upon to a degree that makes OTL seem utopic for tobacco smokers(5 points)

10 The religious right,the marijuana legalizing movement,the anti-tobacco movement and MADD lead a million man protest march on Washington DC(50 points)
11 Alcohol or tobacco are banned in some way(10 points for each)
12 Jerry Falwell/John Ashcroft/Pat Robertson/Oral Roberts going live on TV and lighting up a joint and condemming alcohol and tobacco(5000 points)
