"Wouldn't you think the war on drugs has to do with not legalizing all drugs? Not legal=war on drugs. No war on drugs=legal. Right?"

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?

The feds can return the responsibility to the states for the legal/illegal status of drugs, some or all, by simple legislation.

Besides, you've talking about a method. I'm talking about an attitude.

Extinct, Robert. And, you realize you have most probably lined yourself up with very wealthy drug dealers, don't you, attitude wise?
