This is not the same country as it was at the end of prohibition.

To suggest that complete repeal of the controlled substances act is not without repercussions is not going to cut it.

It’s not the same. Crack is not a bottle of Jack Daniels. LSD is not Courvoisier. And Ecstasy is not a bottle of Dom Perignon.

The things that were available 100 years ago were not products of our modern chemistry.

You're right.

The government would lose its monopoly on health care for one thing.

That would be terrible.

Yeah, back then we at least had the decency to pass constitutional amendments to impose and repeal nationwide prohibition.

To suggest that complete repeal of the controlled substances act is not without repercussions is not going to cut it.

So do you think the CSA is justified by the Commerce Clause? Or, do you think states should have that authority under the Tenth Amendment?
