Drug laws won't be on the fall ballot, but tobacco money will

A carefully planned and well-financed campaign to overhaul Michigan's drug laws crashed Tuesday, as the state Supreme Court declined to place the issue before voters in November.

Without comment, the court upheld decisions issued last week by the Court of Appeals and a state elections panel to keep the drug question off the ballot.

"Laws against illicit drugs exist at the federal level and in all fifty states." roscoe-pap

Unconstitutional prohibitory laws against 'illicit' drugs exist at the federal level and in all fifty states.
Clearly, intoxicating substances can be 'regulated' at local & state levels, as long as the constitution is not violated.
- Fiat prohibitions violate due process. See the 14th.

You two are typical hate mongering fanatics, who mock the principles of our constitutional free republic.

Looks like you got stomped little boy.

You forgot Cheech and Chong, IMHO.

Cheech, chong, Tpain, Deadcoprse. What a collection. The contemporarty libertarian braintrust.

[tpaine]

Whata dreamer.

[tpaine]

Wow, devastating ripostes VA.

[headsonpikes]

Look, you mealy little twerp. Go back to your mindless bureaucratic tasks, such as they may be, and do not interrupt me with your yawpings again.

I am prepared to debate and argue with willing compadres at any time; you do not qualify.

I can get into shouting matches with braying socialist jackasses any time of the day or night right here in Vancouver. I have no need to carry on useless discussions of that nature online.

Go back to your fetid den at Rat HQ, troller.

Ok, just tell me when pot, crack or heroin has ever saved a life.

The fact that it saved Hemingway's marriage doesn't count.

You haven't the slightest idea what the 14th amendment is and what it does. Go back to your libertarian coloring books.

Another 'devastating' opinion by FR's premire lightweight mind.

Stick to your vapid comments on 'stomping'.

[exnavy]

Gee, for a moment there I thought you were outnumbered, but than I saw there were only four of them.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

JMO, but it seems to be you who is out of the loop.

You're right about the JMO part because you're the only lunatic on your side who still buys this crap.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

The libertarians on this thread are as much america haters as al-qaeda.

You are a cowardly piece of sh*t.

Anyone who would post something like this (above) on this of all days isn't fit to scrape the dogsh*t off my shoe. If I get banned for saying so it's worth it because it needed to be said, although I'm sure others have said it more forcefully and colorfully than me in the past.

You are as bad as---no, worse than---any bleeding heart liberal navel gazer who wraps himself up in some nebulous feel-good soundbite in order to promote his or her petty little political agenda. Do a search for the Derrick Z. Jackson column I posted today, because you're him wearing a "conservative" mask. People like you are the reason the word "conservative" means what it does to lefties and "moderates" everywhere. And you discredit the otherwise good people on FR who for whatever reason support the federal War on Drugs. My side may have ideological differences with them, but only you sink to this detestable level.

I'm sure you've got a raging one-inch hardon in your pants now, because flaming on FR is all you do. You have nothing else to add. Zero. Nothing. I couldn't muster any more contempt for you if I tried.

Just tell me when a shot of whiskey, a glass of wine or a bottle of beer has ever saved a life?

Those might be relevant items if they too were illegal. Try again Billy.

Is pot really good for divorce? I have a buddy on the force that's having some marriage trouble. Should I recomend some panama yellow or some hash?
