States should be allowed to legalize marijuana. Period. Legalize the damn drug and stop the insanity. Under these certain conditions:

(1) Buyers must be 21 & show valid state ID or driver's license (must be state they live in no out-of-state purchases)
(2) Can only purchase during daytime hours
(3) Fine or jail sentence if caught giving it to minors
(4) DUI laws still apply

Place a 5% sales tax surcharge on it, and states wouldn't have to confiscate my hard-earned money as much to support their socialist lifestyle.

P.S. - Legalize industrial hemp too, for clothing and fuel, so our farmers can have another crop to grow. Drugs such as cocaine and heroin should remain illegal.

WHAT? Have you been looking at that damn CONSTITUTION again? The one that says that if it does not affect interstate commerce or the national defense or coinage or some other SPECIFICALLY SPELLED OUT AREA ADDRESSED BY THE CONSTITUTION then the federal government is forbidden by law to pass laws about it?

Don't you know we are past all that stuff? Today's conservatives can't be bothered by those arcane outdated pieces of paper. We are out to protect our children from the evil drug dealers, protect ourselves from the evil muslims, and protect ourselves from the evil libs. You clearly do not understand that these three demonic forces are so threatening that we must sacrifice all our liberties to fight them. These evil threats to freedom are so awful that we must surrender our freedoms in order to fight them. Are you so stupid you don't understand this? You sound like one of those Ron Paul wack jobs.

And, to think how different things wold have been between the Hatfield’s and, the McCoys had they been smoking weed instead of drinking moonshine???
