"LEAVUS US ALONE & QUIT PUSHING FEDERAL POLICIES THAT TREAT US LIKE CRIMINALS"

Go above the snow line and stay there, and I will support legislation that makes it legal for you to do any drug you want.

You choose to be part of society, however, you live by society's rules. Deal?

The states are the righful, constitutional decision makers regarding drug policy, & if the feds would do its role by protecting our national borders from invasion by illegal immigrats & drugs (which it could do a whole heck of a lot better if it would focus its efforts on that alone), that sounds like a good deal to me.

Like I told WildTurkey (read the post I left for him, please), he Drug War worshippers could move to DRUG-FREE states & fight their own Drug War w/ abandon...or work w/ your own state legislatures to create your drug-free utopia.

On the other hand, the druggies could move to liberal FREE-DRUG states & live happily ever after. The Drug War worshippers would be happy 'cuz THEIR states would then have fewer druggies to deal w/...& the druggies would be happy 'cuz they wouldn't hafta face the threat of prison for their drug use. SEPERATE BUT EQUAL, you could say.

P.s.

As a guy who loves climbing & the mountains ("Rocky Mountain High, Colorado..."), I'll take your "snow line" remark as a compliment. But please remember this: I am NOT asking you to "support legislation that makes it legal". What I AM asking is what I said previously: STOP supporting policies that will have us thrown in jail, or cause us to lose our property, kids, jobs, etc....ESPECIALLY if we live in a state that is different from yours.

Lemme say it again:

I'm VERY tempted to say "IT'S A DEAL!"...but I can't, 'cuz I'm not asking you to join our side. We live in different states, so feel free to fight as tough a Drug War in Illinois as you wish.

But I live in Arkansas. I am not under your state's jurisdiction, & the federal government has no rught to interfere. All I am asking you to do is STOP having the feds stick its nose into an issue that the 9th & 10th Amendments have left w/ the states. Simple enuff???
