Cannabis remained legal at a federal level during the entire period of alcohol prohibition in the US. Even if I thought your idea was a good idea (I don't), history doesn't support the idea.
How weak was weed was in those days, before strains were bred for their current ~20% THC content? I think I'm justified in supposing it was not very good. And how accessible and well-known was it? It was probably almost as obscure as salvia divinorum is today.
I couldn't tell you how strong it was - I suppose it wasn't as strong as the best available today. I *do* know that you can get good and stoned off shit weed, so I fail to see the relevance of that point at all. As obscure as salvia? I don't think history supports you on that.

I'm not for prohibition in general - it appears to create new problems and not solve the ones it was intended to. So no thanks.
