Anyone else getting tired of all the potheads using Freerepublic as a forum for trying legalize their addiction.
Its sad that any conservative would even want to popularize a dysfunctional drug that was an icon of liberal leftwing hippies of the 60's

April, -- do you dispute the position below?

"There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that authorizes the federal government to wage war against the citizens of the United States, no matter how well-meaning the intent. The Bill of Rights means just as much today, as it did on the day it was written. And its protections are just as valid and just as important to freedom today, as they were to our Founders two hundred years ago.
The danger of the drug war is that it erodes away those rights. Once the fourth amendment is meaningless, it's just that much easier to erode away the first and then the second, etc. Soon we'll have no rights at all. "

Operation Central Hub also produced important connections to Mexico, revealing direct criminal links and associations between select Mississippi organization heads and Mexican drug sources of supply. Texas based organization members were found to be functioning as logistics coordinators in arranging the delivery of drug loads from Mexico to Mississippi. This same group arranged for the subsequent collection of money as payment for the drugs.

Now after reading this can you say we dont have a the Constitutional right to wage war on drugs?

I could also give many examples of BC bud coming in from Canada. I don't know how you could object to the DEA doing there job under our Constitution in these circumstances unless your an open border one world order type of person?
