Based on your posts in this thread, you appear to me to be an ultra-law and order guy. The law says marijuana is illegal, end of discussion. If marijuana was legalized, then you would have no problem with marijuana. The morality of the law is irrelevant. All that matters is what the law says. You appear to be a legal positivist. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

I'm still waiting for your answer to my question. Are you saying that since your flying is not interstate and is not even commerce, that Congress has no right to intervene?

"Based on your posts in this thread, you appear to me to be an ultra-law and order guy."

I believe in the rule of law, yes.

"The morality of the law is irrelevant."

Do you think a law against addictive psychotropic recreational drugs is immoral? I don't. Why would you even bring that up in a thread like this?

"You appear to be a legal positivist"

You got that from what, one post?
