"But you're imagining or hallucinating things if you think I'm calling for federal action to save them from their self destructiveness and their lack of American Exceptionalism."

Why not suspend all federal laws and let the states settle the matter the basic way? No bag limits. With no more phony pretense of the federal government doing its job to stomp on local corruption, let the Midwest and better parts of the South clean up their own messes and straighten out the zombie states by conquering and occupying them. We could start up the uranium mining operations again in the conquered states and nuke some foreign enemies that have been begging for it.

You must be stoned now, just moments ago you weren’t going to be involved in the discussion yet here you are back again.

"Was Ben Franklin hanged for opium or laudanum use?"

Of course not! So let's legalize heroine and absolutely deregulate pot production. No rules! Bring back paraquat!

Give police a few months of paid holidays to join us. We'd be rid of useless trash in no time.

Wtf are you smoking?
Stop comparing pot to heroin, tobacco and alcohol are both regulated and taxed by the fed and are far more deadly than weed as there has never been a legit case of a marijuana overdose. When you try and equate heroin to marijuana you just sound like a dumb liberal tyring to call every weapon an assault rifle, just stop

This country long ago reached the point that it is impossible to be a law abiding citizen. What is amazing is that many people still don’t realize the fact, millions still fantasize that they can be law abiding citizens so long as they do not INTENTIONALLY violate the law. It is like thinking that you can avoid being bitten by venomous snakes so long as you don’t INTENTIONALLY step on one.

"If a Constitutional Amendment was required to ban alcohol why is one not required to ban marijuana?"

That's easy. Because drunken potheads are more stupid than drunks.

Nice legal analysis, Scooter.

That's correct. The corruption was brought to us by too many influential constituents on drugs and the legislators in their pockets. They've certainly complicated matters.

Let's at least make law enforcement simple again! Make Rody Duterte a U.S. citizen and promote him to the office of U.S. Attorney General!

[Fun fact: Duterte is a lawyer--the anti-lawyer!]

So you are against States rights?
