"What's immoral about marijuana use for the sick?"

There are alternative painkillers.

In the bigger picture, I see an agenda here: an anti-American strategy to shred the U.S. Constitution via the 10th Amendment. This would be only one salvo in the bigger war.

And the alternative for Peter McWilliams would have been what, exactly?

Well, the 10th amendment IS part of the constitution.

Besides, being able to smoke pot and tell everyone else to piss off IS hardly anti-american.

It's just like being able to worship and tell the catholic church to piss off if they don't agree.

Live and let live is really what America is about. And with freedom, but still responsible for yourself.

strategy to shred the U.S. Constitution via the 10th Amendment What an idiotic statement. The Tenth Amendment is part of the Constitution, and the Constitution would never have been ratified without a clear committment to add it (and the rest of the Bill of Rights).

There are alternative painkillers.

Well, if marijuana use for the sick is immoral, why is the use of alternative painkillers permissible?

Those other painkillers are also subject to abuse, and frequently taken recreationally.

That is a truly stunning statement. Probably the largest problem in this country today is the fact that the 10th Amendment has become nearly a dead letter. Putting the 10th back into prominence would curtail many of the federal abuses of power that we see today.

But you see the 10th as a means to SHRED the Constitution? Woof.

Maybe a living Constitution as seen by libs and big-government conservatives. But not to originalist conservatives who realize that government is not the answer to everything.

Oh, well then by all means, there ought to be a law. And a Federal one at that.

There is no doubt that organizations such as the ACLU are intent on turning the constitution on it's head. It's been going on for many years. The courts have taken power from the administration and the legislature. They now have authority to rule on anything in anyway that suits them.
