You tell me. (Hint: opiates were available OTC, as was cocaine).
Exactly.
And while the lot here debate the pros vs. cons, the question(s) that never gets brought up:
Why does gov’t need power/law XYZ?
What area of the Constitution grants power/law XYZ?
Would this not be better handled or legal at the State level?
What further Rights, Liberty and/or Freedom be impacted by law XYZ?
IMHO, these are the true test of all (L) doctrine.
