Hugh Hewitt pretty much had me foaming at the mouth last week with his view on the Federal Government cracking down on states legalizing Cannabis. Why is it that it took an amendment to the constitution to ban alcohol, but the FedGov can just ban MJ on a whim?

Hewitt, you dirtbag Rino lawyer amnesty shill for your housing construction masters...explain to me why prohibition needed a constitutional amendment, but you support any big government RINO candidate that will crack down on states that have passed MJ legalizing laws using federal laws that are completely unconstitutional?

Send your kid to public school...don’t be surprised when bad things happen. She has no one to blame but HERSELF. At the very least she could have trained her kid to lie - my kids never stepped foot in a public school, but still knew how to lie their way out of almost any situation (such as social workers threatening them).

She should have kept her pot usage secret from her child. Does her child know all the names of her prescription drugs or does he just know about the pot?

She should have stayed in Colorado or moved to a State where pot is legal.

The story doesn’t show any such thing, except that the libertarian meme of states rights is just a strategy no different than those used by other leftists

This activist had no problem teaching her son all about pot...but she didnt teach him when to keep his mouth shut.

She moved from a medical pot state to a state where possession is illegal.

She kept illegal oil in her house with a child present.

Self inflicted.

Question...

if pot.is a prescription drug .. then is this a case of illegal abuse of prescription drugs?

Or are you saying all drugs should be available at will and no prescription required?

Your libertarian cover does not fly for right to pot as a drugs as personal entertainment unless it apply to any to all drugs

tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, prescription drugs like Oxycontin, Quaalude Valium ect., ect.

Your libertarian argument for pot, to be valid would need to be that you have the right to access and use all at will

...your argument should be "burn the prescription pads and kill the pharmacist that oppresses us from our high"or else you're a giant hypocrite

I think God every day I am approaching the end of my life. I spent most of my life when dope was against the law and queers were still in the closet, when ever the National Anthem was played everyone stood up and was proud. The proudest point of my life, next to the birth of my two sons was when I took my oath upon joining the Army. At least my Father, a career Army man died at the end of the Reagan Administration and did see our decline. The only good thing is all the pervs will stand before God and answer for their sins at the end.....

Nothing brings out the Conservative/Statist vs Conservative/Libertarian splits on FR than a rousing discussion on Marijuana

I wonder why the feds are okay with marijuana use but not tobacco use!

As a strict Constructionist, the Constitution does not give the Feds the power to ban marijuana so it is a states rights issue.

Just because a point of contention falls in a presumably liberal sphere of support does not detract from or delegitimize it as an issue of States Rights.

If we are to be true to the Constitution, the founding document of the Republic, then it must be followed as written or changed, as prescribed in the Constitution, to suit the tastes of it`s followers. However; IT IS NOT A 'living document', it is the highest order of contractual law and must therefore be followed to the letter.

Amendment 9 The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment 10 The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people.

In no part of Article 1 have I found that Congress has been given the power to regulate any given substance for the purpose of consumption by a human being, therefore it is a states rights issue.

If so, someone please show me where this power resides, 'The good and plenty' clause?! Now who was the lefty congresscritter who cited that one?

Apparently, there's a defense fund for the family that's already raised $25,000.

I say the authorities will cave. The state of KS will keep the oil and wash its hands of the whole matter. Then there's that matter of the authorities interrogating her child without parental notification...

They make a form of medical marijuana in pill form that does not cause intoxication. Nobody wants to use that for some reason...
