States are free to restrict the drug trade or not, as they please. Neither the Raich decision or federal laws compel the states to ban drugs.

That's the kind of semantic gymnastics you get from the libeal bureaucrats and politicins in DC when they do something they can claim they're not doing.

"Nobody compelled them to ban it, they just aren't permitted to allow it."

Wrong again. They can allow it or disallow it under state law, as they choose. Just as the federal government can allow it or disallow it under federal law, as they choose.

Florida has no state income tax. Florida residents are still subject to the federal income tax.

The federal government has no general sales tax. Florida residents are still subject to the state's sales tax when they make their purchases.

When you get to High School, see if you can take a Civics Class.

You’re wasting your time. Some people can’t get past the fact that Raich concerned “the devil’s weed.” Therefore, the outcome had to be correct! The fact that every single left wing judge decided the same way doesn’t raise any suspicion whatsoever. It’s the devil’s weed. The end justifies the means.

It appears that San Diego is also home to some tax-fattened pigs and pig lawyers, eager to consume the money and freedom of the citizens.

Lord, how they squeal and fuss when their sources of free doughnut money are threatened!

Civil seizure, highway robbery, extortion, shakedowns, bribery, home invasions, and an archipelago of prisons that would make Stalin proud.

These are the fruits of the War On Drugs. Be proud of yourself, prohibition supporters.

You did what the Soviets could not: destroy America’s greatness.
