I don't understand the mentality either.

I understand it. They're the same sort of people who supported Prohibition in the early part of the last century. The lessons are plain for anyone with a brain, well we'll have to accept some research mathemeticians apparently, to see.

Prohibition was a disaster. It didn't put a dent in alcohol consumption, it lead to unheard of levels of organized, violent crime, public and political corruption, and was by any measure an unmitigated failure.

Yet people on this board which has as its stated purpose a return to Constitutional governance, still chearlead for the Federal government to put people into prison for smoking a particular type of plant.

It's the textbook definition of insanity.

States Rights trumps all. The problem lies in the product being imported into the State rather than being a locally grown commodity.

As soon as the product is shipped “legally” across State Lines the Commerce Clause goes into effect, thus making it a Federal issue.
