So arguing the finer points between beer, wine, prescription drugs, weed, etc... ad nausium... is just inane and worthless bloviating to satisfy the ego and pacify the need to vent.

The finer points are which medicine to single out. There was a proposal to ban all people with medications floated. Yah, know it is discrimination to pick on certain drugs.
