It wasn't meant to convey any aspect.
It was meant to point out that leaving the drug decision to the states would not be the same as leaving the alcohol decision the the states. Alcohol is legal in every state. I doubt that drugs would be.
It foolish for some people to say, "Leave the decision to the states" as though that solves some kind of problem. It doesn't. We would end up with the "dry town" "wet town" scenario on a much larger scale.
Actually, I can see the eventuality of an even larger WOD, as each "dry" state requests the federal government for border assistance.
