Why did we have to pass a Constitutional Amendmend to ban alcohol, but some executive orders and some bills through congress and Presto Bingo there is an out and out war on drugs that was never oficcially declared an actual “War”.
Because since the early 1900’s the constitution has been watered down so much it is almost meaningless....
They had to use a constiutional amendment BECAUSE they simply couldn’t have passed a bill through congress and got the president’s signature BECAUSE the “War on Drugs” is inherently Un-constitutional as it is an abuse of federal power in relation to the average citizen.
It was only through the twisted liberal logic of a “welfare state” that they were able to justify the “War on Drugs” for the “Good of Society” since the progessive playbook was to make Government “responsible” for the “good of society”.
Also forgot to mention that I think that if states want to ban drugs in the same way they have “dry counties” and “dry states” then by all means it is up to the states to do so.
