Show me where in the Constitution it allows a "drug war" to be fought, unlike the war on alcohol that required an Amendment, and then we can talk.

Until then, don't you have some teenage dope head to go and shoot?

[Dead Corpse]

Nope. I'm all for the WoT as it is a retaliatory fight against those who have attacked us. In fact, I'd love it if they commissioned privateer companies under letters of M&R. I know a few folks who'd love to join up for a chance at some fame and fortune.

I'm also an anarcho-capitalist. "Acts of capitalism between consenting adults" and all that. It's called "freedom". Something you've kind of lost sight of.

[Dead Corpse]

Considering mailing a deadly substance like that as a means of iniating an attack is morally indefensible... And that the WoT is a listed duty of the FedGov under the Art 1 Sect 8 powers....

Geez... you REALLY aren't any good at this.

Bored now...

Gonna go work on my new patio some more before grilling up some steaks.

TTFN...

"Dude, why did that cop pull us over? I thought I read that smoking doob makes me a better driver!"

[Dead Corpse]

You say you want rule of law, but instead of amending the Constitution to GIVE the FedGov that power, you idiots just STOLE that power. And you have NO idea how much damage you do to the Republic by doing so do you...

Idiot. I'm done with you.

I used to be Libertarian.

Until I realized that the platform was "let us got high by sanction of law".

Screw that, screw them and screw their drugs.

... but everyone that's on the pro-drug side simply wants to abuse their illegal drug legally.

You've been here two days, and already you are qualified to make an assesment like that?

My only comment was on the validity of the "study" which found that the gateway effect was not significant. I've smoked marijuana without moving to harder drugs. I never got "hooked" and haven't had any for many decades. Legalizing pot would probably reduce some crime. I would be all for it so long as there were no other laws that prohibited employers or housing from discriminating against users.

I think I do know the online and offline drug mentality well.

You obviously don't know Free Republic, do you?

The vast majority of those who argue against the War on Some Drugs do so from a perspective that it is an unconstitutional encroachment of basic liberties.

[ActionNewsBill]

Would you have smoked it more or less if it was as easy to get as beer?

Ask any high school kid which is easier to get.

I smoked several dozen times and got throughly "wasted" many times. It was EASIER to get than beer since you had to be 21 to buy beer. Pot was everywhere when I was a kid. I saw lots of my friends (and my sister) move on the hard drugs. I understand the mindset. It's contraband and illegal. There's a certain thrill associated with that. The same rules apply to the harder drugs too.

I signed an oath over 2 decades ago stating that I would not do it again and I haven't. I know what I'm missing and I don't miss it at all.
