took an oath to uphold the constitution

The Constitution grants the federal government no authority over the intrastate growing, selling, buying, or using of marijuana.

“The Constitution grants the federal government no authority over the intrastate growing, selling, buying, or using of marijuana.”

That was my first thought when I saw the fool on local news last night.

The US Government has all the authority it needs under the Constitution to defend it's populace against dangerous chemical threats, of which Marijuana constitutes one of the lesser ones.

This constant Libertarian assertion that government has no authority to stop dangerous threats to the populaces is just false, but like the Goebbels propaganda effort underpinning it, constant repetition of this false claim is necessary to convince less educated people to embrace this stupid idea.

And that is your goal; To convince the nation to do something stupid by constantly repeating false claims.

It does however grant Congress the authority to pass laws and regulations which are enforceable, or did you forget that part?
