"Makes sense.

Here's my only problem with legalized drugs - Government Welfare.

If you want to smoke ganga, snort cocaine, shoot heroine or do whatever it is you do with meth, more power to you, with one little caveat: If you receive public assistance OF ANY KIND, then you have to pass a drug test.

Other than that, numb yourselves to death - literally.

I would add alcohol to the list as well.

I am not a pot smoker...however, I know a cancer patient that smoking pot really helps.

I am tossed up with this but am thinking, make it legal and take some tax money from the people that want to smoke it (not the cancer patients) -— it is such a cash crop in the states, people will always smoke it... use this as a offset revenue ...

Hell, not sure...

Could you please tell me what part of the Constitution says that the fedgov has the power to provide public assistance in the 1st place?

I'm glad that you said "more power to you", but if you would read the 10th Amendment again, you would realize that intra-state drug policies & the Welfare State are to be handled by the States respectively in any which way they & the people choose.
