nonesense

to side with it’s true priciples, the good of the people demands that drug use be illegal

That means drug legalization is an abomination.

“the good of the people demands”

Pray tell, what else does “the goiod of the people” demand in your eyes?

Federal laws for whatever you deem appropriate?

Even more nonsensical is that your stance is not much different than the rationale used by leftists that healthcare must be passed for the 'common good', and that the 'general welfare' clause in the preamble justifies the governments authority over things like this.

No such power as you describe it, is enumerated.

Pot would be a lucrative business if the Government stayed out of the growing and distribution.. Tax it and let the tax revinue go to hiring additional LE officers. But that is a perfect Scenario that would never happen because the gubment would want to control it all..

**********************************

Then ‘abomination’ was the American norm until the 20th century.

As American as Coca-Cola.

Sorry Race, but with over 16 years of law enforcement under my belt you are dead wrong.

The WOD has increased government authority via erosion of the 4th and 5th amendments; increased government spending; militarized law enforcement; caused overcrowding in prisons (which increases government spending) and engendered a distrust between law enforcement officers and the citizens they serve.

It’s a failure, plain and simple. And an unconstitutional one at that.
