How about a survey that asks, "Should drugs now regulated by the federal scheduling system be regulated instead by the states?"
You've seen the drug threads I've analyzed pro-con. You've seen the FR poll about the feds using 1-8-3 to prohibit drugs. Only 5%? Hardly.
The War on Drugs is a totally different issue -- hell, there are aspects of it that even I don't like. A survey on the WOD means nothing. I want a survey that asks, "Should all drugs be legal for adults"? You can do even do it on FR and I doubt you'd get 5% -- if people were honest.

Don't remind our two 'warriors' of the thrashing they took on that Commerce Clause 'poll' thread. They'll throw another hissy fit.
Not necessarily. There are those who wish to keep drugs illegal but do not like what the WOD has done to constitutional protections such as no-knock and asset forfeiture, for example. Then there are those who want to keep the WOD for hard drugs but make soft drugs legal. And all variations in between.
"How about a survey that asks, "Should drugs now regulated by the federal scheduling system be regulated instead by the states?"
How? By a constitutional amendment similiar in wording to Section 2 of the 21st amendment? Or just by waving a magic wand and forcing the states to do it this way? Big difference, amigo.
Besides, you've talking about a method. I'm talking about an attitude.
"You've seen the FR poll about the feds using 1-8-3 to prohibit drugs."
IIRC, that poll covered drugs and guns.
Yes, I saw the poll. My conclusion was that there is a dearth of constitutional scholars on this forum. How are those who think that the 2nd amendment protects their inalienable right to own a M249 SAW supposed to feel about 1-8-3 being used to regulate ownership?
You left out the gun spin. In any case, this article is pissing about:
"The war on pot fills our jails. America arrests 755,000 people every year for marijuana infractions -- the vast majority for possession, not dealing."99%+ of pot possession arrests are made by the states, not the fed.
