Sorry, also I forgot about drug use. Could you tell me if you think private drug use in the home is a victimless crime, and whether any state, under our constitution, can regulate it?
684 -toh-


States have the power to reasonably regulate 'drugs' just as they do booze. But they must use constitutional due process in both the writing of the statutes, and in the enforcement of such law.

Reread that quote by Justice Harlan.. States must have a compelling reason in order to criminalize private behaviors. [substance abuse/sex 'sins', etc]
... And there are virtually no compelling reasons to 'ban' private non violent possession/use of property like booze, drugs, guns or horsemeat.
