If the FDA had done its homework and banned it before it hit America, I daresay the babies' rights would have been better protected.

The subject of the thread is the 'illegality' of marijuana.....please try to stay on the thread topic.

Government protects people from bad drugs. That's one of its jobs.

No, the job of the government is to protect the natural rights of the populace, not to act in a parental capacity

Also, you are confusing a 'drug' (man-made chemical compound) with a PLANT (naturally growing vegetation).

If governments legitimate authority was to PROTECT us, why has not one single court across this country EVER found police liable for NOT protecting someone?

The real thread topic is: does the federal government have the right to enforce drug laws, even when drug dealers and libertarian fools who buy their propaganda think they don't?
