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".

We have always been in agreement that States & local gov't can reasonably regulate the public aspects of 'harmful' acts.
Our US Constitution prevents gov'ts from prohibitions that deprive us of life, liberty or property without due process of law.
