It is Libertarians who want to legalize recreational drugs. Not Conservatives.

Rubbish. I want to "nuke" Iran and overturn Roe v. Wade. And I want the original interpretation of the Interstate Commerce Clause. With the death of New Deal Commerce Clause (a subset of getting rid of the cancer of Jurisprudence in general) goes the biggest single chunk of Statism. An incidental effect of that is to make almost all federal drug laws unconstitutional. The trade-off is worth it IMO. My post #39 applies to you as well as pissant.

If drugs were legalized outright and stand-alone, perhaps you (and, say, Antonin Scalia) would no longer support the New Deal Commerce Clause and, deprived of a majority, Statism would collapse today.

Of course, you can go along with the Left and support their perversion of the Commerce Clause until they don't need you anymore. Then maybe we'll have Socialism AND legal drugs, the worst of all worlds.

I would not have a principled objection to a drug Prohibition Constitutional Amendment, but I would warn against one on historical and pragmatic grounds. The current regime is doing no better than was done with alcohol.

I’d go along with returning the power to control drugs (or not) to the states. I think that is where the majority of this sort of power should lie.
