Hey, does that Constitution thing give the Federal Government the right to regulate uranium enrichment? Just checking.
I understand the libertarian argument, and some of it is persuasive. And, a compelling case can be made for the legalization of some drugs, or at least a decriminalization.
Heroine, OTOH, is heroine. It's not a weed that used to grow naturally in the country. It's a wildly dangerous drug that is HIGHLY processed in a manner that is itself highly dangerous and toxic. And, virtually all of the heroine sold in this country is IMPORTED - the federal government CLEARLY has a right to say what is and what is not importable, do they not?
To say what Paul said in this country is IDIOTIC, and that alone should disqualify you from the White House. I doubt even most Democrats want to legalize heroine.
Just to be clear would pot, mushrooms, mescaline or other “native” drugs be OK?
No.
Unless you care to quote the passage.
The idea that government thinks it can ban an element or plant or chemical that God created is only possible because of the innate stupidity of the American public. (Mainly Republicans in these cases.)
I propose a ban on sunlight. It causes cancer. And you can burn ants with it, if you use a magnifying glass.
The commies were smart. They knew we'd do ourselves in from within, by the "Do-Gooders".
Maybe we can keep civilization next time. Ah well.
Is it armed with Assault Weapons? With extended clips?
Do you have any idea how many things are processed (highly, at that) in manners that are highly dangerous and toxic??
Many of them are in your grocery store.
Or are you just saying this, because you think the Rubes will buy it if you CAPITALIZE SCARY WORDS?
BOO!
And I'd like a heroine or two, if you don't mind. They're my type.
Firstly, heroin legalization at the federal level doesn’t mean that heroin would be legal at the state level.
A drug taskforce (swat) officer that I am friends with even admitted to that real problem with hard drugs is the crime that it produces. People will steal to get their fix. Well stealing is illegal already, and in conjunction with drugs the penalty could be heightened. The drug use itself only damages the person that is doing the drugs, and the state should not be their nanny.
The only change you get in Ron Paul’s proposal is the elimination of federal agencies and wasteful spending.
Cheers!
