I don’t want drugs legalized if we all have to pay for...

Nor do I. However, just because the federal gov't hasn't banned something, the states are not prohibited from doing as they see best. It won't be "legalized" unless the states want to legalize it. My argument is that it cannot constitutionally be prohibited at the federal level. It is also not constitutional for the federal gov't to make us pay for treatments associated with it.

Can anthrax spores be prohibited at the Federal level? Can VX nerve agent be prohibited at the Federal level?
