nope, no way. A State or an individual has the right to discriminate against a pot smoker. Let us not turn the tables around like with the federalization fo gay rights

Get used to it. It’s coming and there’s nothing that’s going to stop it.

Good, keep it illegal and keep the criminals in business. And lets bring back alcohol prohibition while we’re at it.

"How about just legalizing altogether and end this bs once and for all?"

Good point! It isn't like anyone is forcing you to tolerate pot smokers in your city or your state. You ARE being forced to tolerate homosexuals no matter what state you're in. You're being forced to submit to all kinds of regulation that way.

Government is a force. It's supposed to be a servant. Overuse makes it a master. State's rights reduces government to the servant it is supposed to be. It is the CONSERVATIVE approach to government.

There's no more call to prohibit pot than to prohibit its prohibition! Let states decide that. The Federal government has zero place.

Go Cruz.

Here's the thing:

When Congress got the idea of banning alcohol in 1917, it was clear to them and to everyone else that they had no authority to do so, that any such action was up to the States, and that in fact the Constitution would have to be amended to add alcohol prohibition to Congress' enumerated powers.

So where, by 1971, did Congress get the idea that they HAD the power to write Federal drug laws, that no addition to their powers were necessary?

I do not favor legalizing pot. I think states that have done so will soon realize that it was a mistake. But I would strongly support a candidate answering the question of Federal anti-pot laws by saying, "Not my circus, not my monkeys", or something like that.
