If that helps you believe that bunk...enjoy.

It all comes down to a false belief system that “everybody else is wrong”...and the crazy Paul is right.

Dream on. Stating that drug laws are unconstitutional is just simply nuttiness.

The Constitution gives the federal government no authority to ban drugs. [...] In the face of liberal FDR's court-packing threat, the Supreme Court overthrew decades of precedent (and the plain meaning of the Constitution) and decreed that anything that had "substantial impact" on interstate commerce was subject to federal authority. The vast majority of the liberal federal Leviathan we endure today is, like federal drug laws, based on this perversion of the Constitution.

Stating that drug laws are unconstitutional is just simply nuttiness.

That makes Justice Clarence Thomas "nutty": "local cultivation and consumption of marijuana is not “Commerce … among the several States.” U.S. Const., Art. I, §8, cl. 3. By holding that Congress may regulate activity that is neither interstate nor commerce under the Interstate Commerce Clause, the Court abandons any attempt to enforce the Constitution’s limits on federal power." - GONZALES V. RAICH (03-1454) 545 U.S. 1 (2005), dissenting
