An excellent conservative idea, whether or not you'd use them yourself.

Actually a libertarian idea, not a conservative one. The precedent for this dates back to the nation's first president and the Whiskey Rebellion, and runs through Lincoln who stated that the Constitution is not a suicide pact. If you are for pot legalization on strict constitutional terms, than you must also be for no regulations on drugs. Therefore heroin and methamphetamine should be legal, even on school grounds if you are being consistent.

Was ending Prohibition of the drug alcohol, as supported by that era's conservatives, a "suicide pact"?

The Constitution leaves all those matters to the states. Will you vote for your state to legalize heroin and methamphetamine on school grounds?
