If we are going to use *YOUR* logic, we shouldn't ban anything. I noticed you didn't answer the question. Can Colorado legalize Heroin and Meth?
If you are asking about totally intrastate manufacture, sale and use, then yes, Colorado should be able to legalize Heroin and Meth.
I am not saying that they should legalize Heroin or Meth. I am not even saying they should legalize marijuana. Personally, I am opposed to all three.
What I am saying is that Colorado and every other state should have the right to legalize, regulate or prohibit the intrastate manufacture, sale or use of any drug, food or other ingestible substance as the majority of their citizens see fit. If someone in Colorado does not like the laws that Colorado chooses to enact over intrastate commerce, then they are free to go to another state with different laws. When the feds control everything, then that right is lost.
It is called federalism. All laws and regulations should be enacted at the most local level possible, so that citizens have a say in how their rights are restricted.
Actually I am pretty much against the war on drugs. It has been a miserable failure.i am open to trying just about anything at this point. Do you think there would be a lot more addicts? In countries that have done this, the results have been empty jails and fewer addicts.
