And substances that never even leave the State they were grown/manufactured in?

I just love watching bigger government RINO’s like you using liberal logic to twist the plain meaning of words to mean something completely different.

And yeah... You are. The Drug War BS has been used to bolster gun control as well in the courts. So while you say you don’t support those other extra-Constitutional agencies... You still support extra-Constitutional government.

If you want a drug prohibition, do it the same way they did it with alcohol. At least then folks like me wouldn’t think you were a hypocrite on top of being stupid.

And for the record, i think it’s dumb to punish drug usage. It’s its own penalty. Cut off their welfare and impose the death penalty as punishment for any crimes committed under the influence. Doesn’t matter is the “drug” in question is beer or meth...

“And substances that never even leave the State they were grown/manufactured in?”

Are you suggesting that they ought to be completely deregulated?

“bigger government RINO’s”

Yeah, killing a baby at 38 weeks = small government true republican. Opposition to drug legalization = big government RINO.

Are we in the mirror universe here?

“You still support extra-Constitutional government.”

I support the federal government’s constitutional authority to regulate the distribution of controlled goods across the border. This is a GOOD thing.

“If you want a drug prohibition”

Right, because liberaltarians like yourself would love to backstab social conservatives once again. Yawn.

You say you want state regulation, and yet you’ve been attacking Texas’ law barring possession. See, this is how I read liberaltarians.

1, does this federal law match what I believe is the law? YES

Then support it. .

2, does this federal law not match what I believe ought to be the law

NO

Then move down a level.

3, does this state law not match what I believe ought to be the law

NO

Then move down a level.

4, does this local law not match what I believe ought to be the law

NO

Then move down a level.

etc, etc, etc. This is the liberaltarian philosophy on any issue. Just keep going down a level until you get the laws that you like. Unrestricted drugs, abortion, gay marriage, etc.

Once you get those laws, then it works in reverse.

Do I have a local law I like -> Push to make it a state law to get rid of the state law I hate.

This is where you guys get your full statist allies.

Then repeat for the federal government. You guys have been doing this for 50 years now.
