How can that be true? You support federal drug laws based on the New Deal Commerce Clause.
I have no problem with current Federal marijuana laws because marijuana is trafficked across national borders and state borders all the time
I asked about national marijuana prohibition, which includes intrastate. That depends on the New Deal Commerce Clause, which you claim not to support. You can't have it both ways.
How about meth and coacaine0? You want that legalized via the Tenth Amendment?
Well, in that sense murder, rape and assault are legalized via the Tenth Amendment since they are not federal crimes when committed intrastate. Do you want these crimes kept legal via the Tenth, or do you want fedgov involved there too? I want those issues to be left to the states.
Are there any efforts to make Farmer John's California grown marijuana that is only sold in California, 100% legal in California? Let me know. That might sneak in under The Tenth --
There was an effort that got defeated called Prop 19. I ask you this: If that had passed, would you have supported fedgov efforts to shut it down?
Say some New York researchers discover a very good drug but they can't afford the millions it takes to get FDA approval--- would you approve of it being manufactured and distributed in New York only?
Yes.
What if someone from New Jersey buys that drug and takes it to New Jersey? How do you prosecute him?
That's up to NY and NJ, yes? 18 year olds from states with a drinking age of 21 cross state lines all the time to legally buy liquor and bring it home. How are they prosecuted?
Like I already posted -— Marijuana commerce runs cross national boundaries as well as the American states. It is reasonable for the Feds to regulate and ban it as well as methedrine, crack, etc
At lest 50% of Marijuana comes from Mexico as well as the hard drugs like heroin and cocaine. The Federal Govt definitely has a role here to keep out those poisons.
Actually I am in favor of banning drug dealers. Kill them all. They sell poison and need to die for that. Pot dealers I would be more lenient with but those who push hard drugs need to be tried and executed same as they do in China and Persia
