when johnson was govenor of NM, he went all over the US saying legalize drugs.

And we couldn’t hike down the canyon along the stream near our home, because we had been warned the house downstream was owned by one of the biggest drug lords in Mexico.

Coincidence? Or just he was bribing the guv?

But....but....we were told legalizing drugs would get rid of the drug lords.

I dunno.

I do know that the War on Drugs is illegitimate; nothing in the Constitution allows the sort of policing of substances that the feds use, despite what judges say. (Wicard, Raich, etc.)

The US had to pass an amendment to exercise that sort of control on alcohol (18th Amd), it was repealed, and nothing was passed to allow similar with these other "controlled substances".

I'm not sating this because I'm a pothead, I don't even like the smell, but because I'm a programmer and like my "globals", "constants", & "assertions" to be just that. If the FedGov can do this with respect to drugs then what can't it do with respect to anything we buy/do/sell?
