This thread is about America's national drug control strategy and what FReepers think about that policy. It isn't about the second amendment right, to keep and bear arms.

My reference to gun rights was as an example. If the Congress cannot pass a law on a subject than any law they do pass is void. Any subject whether it is your favorite or my favorite. FREEDOM IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO GRANT IT TO OTHERS!

So, it remains that there is no authority to prohibit drugs and therefore all those laws are invalid. If you think that the government should use its guns to punish people for using them, that is an issue for state governments with their general police power.

We will then have some states where it remains illegal and others where it will become legal. Then our 50 laboratories of democracy will find out what works better.

At best, your statement is false. At worse, its delusional. I don't know what America you live in, but in the real America of the 21st century, the law of the land is quite clear when it comes to illicit drugs. If you traffic, purchase, possess and/or ingest these harmful and illegal substances and are caught by law enforcement, you will pay the price. Period. Once again, if you choose to oppose America's drug laws in the political arena, thats fine. If you choose to engage in criminal activities related to illegal drugs, thats fine too. But the latter will probably get you locked up in prison and thats fine with me.
