The “status quo” you advocate is accomplished via an abuse of the Commerce Clause that is also the basis for the existence of agencies like the EPA and laws like the Assault Weapons Ban. 


I don’t agree with this opinion.

The status quo keeps druggies a taboo.

I notice you don’t address my concerns about druggies inflicting their addiction on non-users. You’re only concerned about the druggies liberty.

You can do that. I'll only ask you to tell me specifically what it is about it you find disagreeable, and why.

I base my opinion on research I've done on the original intent of the Commerce Clause, based on the writings of Madison, Jefferson, and Joseph Story among others, and the history of federal government expansion under the "New Deal" interpretation of the Commerce Clause.

Please tell me what it is I've stated that you think is wrong. I belive I can provide historical references to support the arguments and conclusions.

I notice that you've chosen resort to personal attacks rather than address the arguments presented. If that's all you've got, then I think I'm done.

The federal War on Drugs depends on the Wickard Commerce Clause, as does federal control over the environment, education and health care, to name a few.

Do you agree or disagree?
