The conservative and constitutional position is that the Federal government under Sec 1, Art 8 and the 10th Amendment doesn't have the power to control that item, whatever it is if it isn't listed in specifically.

This is an issue that has no good answer. We have lost the war on drugs and have turned our police into the Gestapo. On the other hand, having even more people on drugs is not very enticing to me. Who will take care of them when their brains become too fried to work? The taxpayer! No good answer.
No. Anyone still retaining sanity and common sense knows that no problems are going to be solved by making more dope users.
I have graave misgivings about leagalizing pot.
Not the least of which for over 40 yrs- govt presented it as a gateway drup- what changed.
