I don't know anything about the commerce clause. Maybe I should but I don't.

Stunning admission, but I appreciate your candor. Since you haven't bothered to educate yourself on a basic constitutional issue, perhaps you shouldn't be writing things such as:

Once you detach yourselves from ideological aversion to federal regulations and/or tired sophistry and look at the situation on the ground, you can only agree with me.

How can you make such a statement if you know nothing about the Commerce Clause?

I think my previous comments fit quite nicely with my more recent comment about the commerce clause. Or at least they don’t conflict. I was talking about those who fixate on the constitutional relevance of the war on drugs while ignoring where we actually are as a society with “ideological aversion”. And to the people who stupidly cite Genesis with “sophistry”.

I guess the commerce clause refers to interstate commerce, being the sole justification for federal drug laws? I don’t care about that. The overturning of drug laws has to come later and is not a positive step unless it’s accompanied by sweeping deregulation of everything the feds have wrongly stuck their noses in.

Debate is much funner and gets us further when we don’t marginalize our opponents.
