Interesting that this became a states-rights issue.

This whole business of making marijuana illegal is idiotic. Anyone who wants it can get it. It is grown everywhere for free. Doctors are already prescribing it for use.

Kind of reminds me of prohibition.

If government taxed its own stupidity, it would be self-funding in perpetuity.

This whole business of the Feds controlling marijuana is idiotic. Can anyone tell me how, for example, someone growing pot in Santa Cruz, California for use (or sale) in Santa Cruz, California is a concern for the Federal government. To see the idiocy, forget that it's marijuna and pretend it's strawberries.

Oh, I remember why my analogy doesn't work. We don't need to protect our white women from negro jazz musicians hopped up on strawberries.

Except that "Prohibition", the War on Alcohol, required a Constitutional Amendment.

Why doesn't the War on Other Drugs require a Constitutional Amendment?

It would appear that the Supreme Court has ruled and your contrarian/loserdopian point[s] are moot.

Bout friggin time!
