After repeal, a great many states continued prohibition, and many counties, especially in the more law-abiding, more religious South, continue that law. So I would ask YOU: If it is legal for a county in, say, Alabama or Louisiana, to prohibit the sale of alcohol, then why is it NOT legal to have laws against dope?

That is exactly the point it is a state issue not the federal gov't. thanks for proving our point. Leave it up to the state not the fed.'s....

That isn't the point, and I think you know it.

Most of the time it IS left up to the states. But just as kidnapping turns from a local to a Federal matter when the victim is transported across state lines, so the Feds get involved when dope trafficking does, too.

That's just so obvious to someone without "enhanced" neurons.

A war on drugs carried out by a State government would be un-Constitutional, as well.

The drug laws are based upon a corruption of the Commerce Power.

A law based upon an un-Constitutional power is itself illegal.
