"Liberty, correct. Damn, for a druggie, you finally got one right."

Wow. This goes beyond the state. You have a U.S. Contitutionally protected right to do drugs!

I'll tell you what. You get the USSC to state in a court opinion that the due process clause of the 14th amendment recognizes that smoking dope is so fundamental to the concept of liberty, that it is hereby incorporated and now applies to the states, then I'll agree with you.

Short of that, the state retains the power to regulate drugs.

YOU claimed the government had a responsiblity to defend my liberty. I agreed. Now you have descended further into your drug induced haze.

No they don't. They have no legitimate power to usurp rights, with or without a group of liberal judges.

But I'm happy you finally have admitted that the Federal wod is unconstitutional. It's a start.

I still love this new assertion of yours that pot isn't part of ALL drugs.
