Just legalize it nationally and be done with it. Government will get their taxes, idiots will stay out of jail, cops will have time to focus on other stuff, and narcotics anonymous will get a huge new influx of attendees.

Absolutely!
The more drug addled people out there — the easier it will be for the nanny state to control things.

The nanny state sure has done a good job of controlling drugs up to this point, haven’t they?

Either way, it certainly is not within the Constitutional boundaries of the overreaching federal government.
Drug use as well as marriage, the gay thing, and a million other issues are STATES issues, not federal government issues.
Drug use and drug laws are up to the people of each state to decide what they in their locality want to do. That is what we (used) to call “federalism” - decentralized government as defined by the 9th and 10th Amendments - our blessed and free Constitutional Republic that we are letting Satan and his minions snatch away from us.

George Soros is behind this. Stoned people are easily manipulated.
To: PapaNew
laws are up to the people of each state to decide what they in their locality want to do. and we are totally going the wrong way. Feds holding big $$$ hostage until the states comply. Or they just plain ignore these by fiat with EPA / DHS / etc, etc, etc.
