"an amendment empowering federal criminalization of drugs was never passed."

Now this is news. An amendment must exist first before another amendment can reverse it? Surely you're not series?

You brought up the proposition. I say pass an amendment if you want drugs, just like the 21st amendment was passed by those who wanted alcohol.

[MrLeRoy]

I realize you have no heart for the truth.

I think he has no patients for the trolling of irrelevant truths.

[headsonpikes]

"The thread is prohibition."

It most certainly is.

You Native American Totalitarians with your Prohibition and your propagandistic public schools and your lawyer-driven Courts will never learn until the whole rotten structure collapses on your socialist heads.

Prohibition. Shove it sideways.

And twist.

[MrLeRoy]

An amendment must exist first before another amendment can reverse it? Surely you're not series?

An amemdment may be the chosen way to reverse a constitutional law; it is a travesty to suggest one for an unconstitutional law.

[B. Rabbit]

I say pass an amendment if you want drugs, just like the 21st amendment was passed by those who wanted alcohol.

Should we also have to pass an ammendment if we want to "allow" the sale of SUVs for private use?

Should we pass an ammendment if we want to allow the use of mustard on hot dogs for that matter?

What about an ammendment for homosexual sex?

I realize you have no heart for the truth.

Don't confuse "heart for truth" with "time for trolls". Your bait stinks. Try it on somebody else.

[johnb838]

I don't see why acohol shouldn't be the most regulated mind-altering substance around. I can't think of any drug more dangerous except maybe PCP.

[cinFLA]

You Native American Totalitarians with your Prohibition and your propagandistic public schools and your lawyer-driven Courts will never learn until the whole rotten structure collapses on your socialist heads. Prohibition. Shove it sideways.

Then why is it that the druggies on this board pull out socialist prohibitionist Sam Farr from California as an icon of "progressiveness"????????????????????????

[cinFLA]

You Native American Totalitarians

YOU HAVE NO BASIS FOR THIS CLAIM!

[tacticalogic]

I didn't know you had a pro-druggie.

I didn't even know I had an amateur-druggie. Maybe he's living in the spare dog house. I'll check when I get home.

[MrLeRoy]

the druggies on this board pull out socialist prohibitionist Sam Farr from California as an icon of "progressiveness"

Yet another of your many, many lies.

[robertpaulsen]

"protected from social ostracism?"

Oh, please. Social ostracism -- since when, the 50's? In today's society, if it's not illegal, it's Ok to do. bassmaner knows this and so do you.

And don't you dare pass judgement on a legal activity -- who do you think you are?

[cinFLA]

Yet another of your many, many lies.

Not. If fact a thread was started with an article about him!

[MrLeRoy]

In today's society, if it's not illegal, it's Ok to do. bassmaner knows this and so do you.

I don't know it---in fact, I seem to see a growing ostracism of tobacco smokers.

[MrLeRoy]

Yet another of your many, many lies.

Not. If fact a thread was started with an article about him!

Even if that were true, it is laughably far from "pulling him out as an icon."

[jmc813]

you are anti RWJF which is shifting focus to the suppliers!

I'm anti-RWJF because of their communitarian agenda (i.e. Gun Control, funding the idiotic commercials from the PDFA, telling me they know what's best for me such as is indicated in this article, etc.). It reminds me of the attitudes of some FReepers I know, who will go nameless.

[jmc813]

Instead of bringing up libertarians and marijuana, which are not mentioned in this article, why don't you stick with the main jist of the article which is alcohol?

[tpaine]

the pursuit of happiness [is]
"More like "the selfish and irresponsible pursuit of immoral behavior."
-rp-

See #11. -- You are the perfect example of:

---- "The utterly insufferable arrogance of power, and the need for it, is an absolute fact of the human condition. -- Nothing can be done about it. - Just as the poor shall always be with us, so shall we have these infinitely shrewd imbeciles who live to lay down their version of 'the law' to others."

[jmc813]

Social ostracism -- since when, the 50's? In today's society, if it's not illegal, it's Ok to do.

Might I humbly suggest you take a look at some homosexuality and/or abortion threads here on FR.

[jmc813]

Oops! #57 was intended for cinFLA.
