Leave drug laws to the several states.

Amen, brother, preach it! Following the Constitution fixes LOTS of problems.

>>>Amen, brother, preach it! Following the Constitution fixes LOTS of problems.<<<

You got THAT right. There are many problems, concerns, and issues that are best dealt with locally. Just to bring up a can of worms, abortion was on that trajectory in the early 1970s. Places that wanted it legal made it legal. Places that wanted it illegal kept it illegal. Local people were deciding the issue according to local culture, local understanding, and local values. Then the courts intervened and turned it into the intractable mess that it is right now.

The same is true for schools, drug laws, gay marriage, lobbyists, federal budget overruns, taxes, health care, and on and on. If it ain’t in the Constitution, it’s none of the federal government’s damn business. Washington needs to return to that sleepy midsouth yawner it used to be when the nation was first in war, first in peace, and last in the National League.
