Even Conservatives disagree about certain aspects of the U. S. Constitution. [...] So when it comes to our laws concerning drugs, I do think it's open to interpretation whether they are Constitutional or not.

I have yet to see a conservative interpretation that supports federal laws on intrastate drug matters. (It's in no way conservative to support the FDR court's Wickard v Filburn "substantial effects" test - which gave us the vast majority of today's federal welfare state.)

Until someone makes a sound enough case to shoot that premise down that they are Constitutional, they will remain on the books.

Of course - my point is that no true conservative can voice support for unconstitutional laws.

Thanks for the additional comments.

When you come here and protest against those other laws, and put your full efforts into getting them repealed too, perhaps you’ll have a little more credibility with me.

I had to bludgeon you to admit any of them actually existed. Why would I have to do that with a guy who so readily hates all such laws.

Frankly, we both know I shouldn’t.
