[Ken H]

first of all, those states[CO and WA] are in violation of federal law as are the states that have legalized it for medical use.

Do you support the 10th Amendment prerogative of states to carry out those policies? Or would you have fedgov close them down?

[RC one]

So long as the federal government is able to pick one man's pocket to put food on another man's table, the tenth amendment has limited meaning to me especially when discussing policies that are sure to result in increased dependence on the federal government, like legalizing drug addiction for example.

And I will repeat my original question since nobody has answered it yet:

Would you want your doctor to be a drug addict? How about the nurse handing you a cup of pills? How about the lawyer defending you in a court of law? Your veterinarian? How about the company commander leading your son into battle? How about the soldiers themselves fighting against a vicious and determined enemy of the country? or the guy that's dating your daughter? or the guy driving the school bus with your children on it?
