Which constitution are we supposed to uphold?”
Which part of the US Constitution gives the Feds the power to ban a naturally occurring substance??
Wrong premise. It isn't banned at all, it's "controlled".
"Sale" of a controlled substance.
"Distribution" of a controlled substance.
See what I mean? Actions taken with the object are what are punishable.
It could very easily be...sale of a used rifle, or pistol, if such laws existed.
You mean naturally occurring substances like Uranium, Anthrax, Chlorine gas, and other dangers things? Why that would be the defense clause which is an umbrella authorization for anything which threatens the lives of citizens.
It authorizes the Federal government to ban chemical and biological weapons, which is what drugs are.
I asked the other day what part of the Constitution explicitly authorizes banning anything like this by the feds. I was told that basically that the feds can do anything as long as they justify it as threatening the well being of the nation.
When I suggested the feds to stick to the Constitution and use the amendment process if someone wanted to make changes to ban something,(the horror) I was told to stfu, and that basically I didn’t care about defending this nation.
This, right here on Free Republic, I guess the nation really is lost when you can’t get self described conservatives to adhere to the actual wording of Constitution, if it contravenes their pet cause, whatever that may be.
