The War on Drugs goes hand in glove with the War on Poverty. Both are failed big government boondoggles. Both are based on an expansive view of federal power under the Constitution.
If you support the constitutionality of fedgov in its nationwide prohibition, then you have NO constitutional basis to oppose fedgov control of health care, education, welfare, etc.
So tell us... do you think such uses of the Commerce Clause as noted above is in keeping with its original understanding?
You’re full of crapola.
Illegal drugs destroy lives, not just those of the user/addict, but their families. If it was only adults who made the choice to use addicting substances I would not be writing this, but that is not the reality.
Reality is kids using ecstasy and meth. If they survive the first try and keep using, eventually their brains are destroyed. Legalizing drugs would not improve the situation. It would only make the drugs easier to get and provide society’s tacit approval.
The best solution to the illegal drug problem is to arrest traffickers, smugglers, dealers, users then put them up against a wall and shoot every last one of them. Few people stick with a path ending in early death.
