"To regulate includes to prohibit."
Listen to Mama, robbie; --- she nailed you to the wall with:
"If you can't tell the difference between [regulating] an artificially created state and [prohibiting] a living, breathing human being, I'm done wasting bandwidth on you."
Simply put boy, you been shown the dunce corner.
Hey, I simply assumed her "living, breathing human being" was a citizen -- you know, an artificial construct of the state (itself artificial).
The US Constitution & BOR's applies to people, kid, not just citizens. You ever actually read it?
You want to be part of society, protected by society's laws? Then live by them.
I do, -- and its clear you don't want to live by our primary law, the US Constitution. Why is that?
You want to take your "living, breathing human being" up into the mountains and live your life? Well then, you can smoke dope to your heart's content as far as I'm concerned.
Awwww gee robbie, you don't have to get all snippy about this..
(BTW, it's not illegal to ingest drugs. Never was. Ingest away.)
Tell it to hundreds of thousands of jailed 'ingestees', paulsen.. Then slither back to your corner.
It pains me to agree with Robert Paulsen,but I must point out that he is technically correct, at least in most jurisdictions.
Anectdotally last weekend a buddy of mine had a long talk with state trooper who told him that he was free to go (He was stoned out of his gourd and wasn't driving) because its not against the law to be high, just to be in possession. I sort of thought it was funny that cop was quoted as saying "You can be as high as you want in America, just don't let us catch in possesion or driving". Oh well.
