Well that's always been my position. But the drug question can't be left up to the states unless some states can constitutionally restrict it. So we are in agreement that the People of the states should be left to decide the matter of harm for themselves?
Apparently so. As it currently stands, they can't even have a public debate and vote on the issue without the federal government getting involved in the process, as a fraudulent exercise in "regulating commerce among the several States".
If the states decided the drug issue, why do you think that would work? Or don't you care if it works or not, as long as that's the way it's done?
I bring this up because, prior to Prohibition, the states alone made the decision whether to be "wet" or "dry" and they split 50-50. Problems arose when the "wet" states illegally smuggled to "dry" states next door.
The "dry" states pressured Congress for assistance and got the Webb-Kenyon Act making this smuggling illegal at the federal level, but that didn't help. Eventually, we got Prohibition.
But you're saying this wouldn't happen with easy-to-smuggle drugs? Or, again, are you saying you just don't care?
