Well then, since you've so thoroughly "smashed" CSM then how about you telling us "specifically" where in the Constitution the WOsD is authorized.
The CSA ain't cutting it and the commerce clause ain't cutting it either.

The correct answer is that there is no Constitutional Right to get high...
There is no Constitutional Right to do anything according to what you're saying. Are our Rights totally encompassed solely in the BoR?

I will refer you to post #83. CSM turned this into a Constitutional debate with the following statement: "I wonder if the gun owners will be singing the praises of gun ownership when their children get shot in a school. Better to prohibit gun ownership than to live by the constitution!"

CSM brought up the Constitution here. I'm merely challenging him/her to demonstrate how the Constitution applies here. I offer you the same challenge. What part of the Constitution recognizes your God-given, inalienable Right to get high?

Constitutional Authority for the "War on Drugs." Simple. The section in the preamble that empowers the government to "promote the general welfare."

I know that you won't like that answer, and I'm not saying that I agree with this concept. Frankly, I think the intent of this passage has been distorted to include everything under the sun, and this is the root cause for our ever-expanding Federal government. Given this interpretation of the Constitution, the War on Drugs is perfectly legal.
