A meme posted to Facebook claimed that “nearly every state that has legalized [marijuana] has also legislated that you lose your right to own a gun if you are prescribed it, or buy it recreationally.”“Pot legalization is turning out to be a back-door way for the government to get you to voluntarily give up your gun rights,” reads the image.

Don't bother drug truthers.

The "no worse than" crowd doesn't mind adding poison upon poison into our culture.

I've lost friends and family to "no worse than".

The fact that it "could" have happened with booze makes it all ok.

They will insist that daily users are "fully functioning".

I can tell you stuff that would shock as bad as your situation.

It’s a personal thing and I don’t pass that on to anyone other than those who are close.

Suffice it to say I know of the evils of even so called ‘benign’ drugs like pot or other hallucinogens.

Actually I didn’t realize that the Supreme Court had the power to re-write the Constitution. Thanks for filling me in.

What a circuitous way to avoid the FACTS some never grow up.

It’s a photo-finish between your arrogance and your ignorance. Can’t tell which one generates the other.

Which poisons do you support subtracting ... or are you a hypocrite?

The Federal government has no constitutional authority to regulate drugs. That’s why a constitutional amendment had to be passed for prohibition to be enacted.

For some FReepers, constitutionalism is not a principle but a tactic: used when conducive to their ends, ignored when not.

[Junk Silver]

“For some FReepers, constitutionalism is not a principle but a tactic:..”

True enough, but this place is about as good as it gets for these kinds of discussions. For the Mainstream Media and far too many Americans the Constitution is a “living document”: a magic mirror that shows whatever they want to see at any given time.

I am troubled at how much we let the Left frame all arguments. They’ll get us running around in circles debating the merits of “Dreamer” executive orders, Federal drug mandates, or what sort of judges might give us the results we want from the courts without ever stopping to consider the underlying constitutional principals that settle all of those issues.
