How could this possibly matter? Federal law clearly states marijuana is illegal and then there was the recent U.S. Supreme court ruling on medical marijuana. What a waste of a debate.

wondered whether the ordinance might lead to increased violence, because, he said, a large portion of "violent crime is substance related."

Major failure to grasp the concept there. Violent crime and substances are related when the substance is illegal. This is seeking to alleviate that link.

So federalism and subsidiarity mean nothing to you? Some "conservative."

As Prohibition clearly showed us.

You're putting words in my mouth. I just stated that this is useless under the current system we have now, I didn't say anything in support or opposition. Be naive if you want.

Drunks don't often show much initiative either; what's your point?

Opponents cited a variety of concerns.

After just two puffs off a Marijuana joint you'll turn into a bat and fly around the room.

I love how the Supreme Court was able to come up with a clear cite from the Constitution that allows the FedGov that police power.

Er... then again...

You are right about one thing. Debate is pointless. The WoDdies want their War and nothing will keep them from it. Especially not a little thing like the Constitution.
