Please show me where in the constitution the Federal Government is given the authority to ban a plant.
US Controlled Substanes Act.
The Federal Government has the power to make laws.
I'll do one better...I'll show you where the Constitution tells the President to faithfully execute the laws of the United States whether he likes the laws or not: Article 2, section 3.
From wikipedia:
The President must "take care that the laws be faithfully executed."[25] This clause in the Constitution imposes a duty on the President to enforce the laws of the United States and is called the Take Care Clause,[26] also known as the Faithful Execution Clause[27] or Faithfully Executed Clause.[28] This clause is meant to ensure that a law is faithfully executed by the President [26] even if he disagrees with the purpose of that law.[29]
If potheads or wannabe potheads don't like that the President of the United States is following the constitution and faithfully executing the laws of the United States then CHANGE THE LAWS. Otherwise you don't have a leg to stand on and you're whining just to whine.
You claim to be a Constitutionalist but you are really just a selective Constitutionalist. You know here they derive their authority just like declaring breathing to be a pollutant.
Pot heads offer no improvement to our society and far from being a victimless activity, drug abuse is a very costly indulgence for the user and society.
