    Anything can be banned.

    Pot for example was banned as follows.

    They made a law that said you had to have a tax stamp to possess it. Possessing it without a stamp was illegal.

    To apply for a stamp, you had to show you had some in your possession, thus being in violation of the law.


    Key words - "They made a law" -
    This has to be done in a public manner and not an FDA decision - yea there's no more pot anymore - that worked great - :D

    There was also a significant racial component in the "pot stamp law"
    As it was a drug used predominantly by the African-American community at that time and when they presented their stash for stamping they were thrown in jail. There is a provision in the tobacco bill for menthol - based on same type of market trend - So if you are African-American and "they" say you need a "menthol stamp" in the future - Just throw it away or hide it - Don't go down there for a stamp - ;)
