I want to see a link that Trump was in favor of legalizing drugs - when all he has ever told his kids - no drugs - no alcohol - no cigarettes. And, he is right - it should be up to each individual state to legalize marijuana or not,.

You know what you’re gonna get, “States Issue”.

“However, Trump contradicts himself when asked about states rights and marijuana laws. Trump said, “If they vote for it, they vote for it.””

There is no contradiction. You can be against legalizing marijuana and still believe it’s an issue for the states to decide for themselves.

Just a comment; Every state that has legalized MJ has also over taxed and regulated it to the point it’s still just as cheap to deal with the cartels.

Just a smoke screen to distract from important issues.

18T debt
fake economy
WW3 starting up as a currency war
Babies being torn apart live and sold
Islam taking over our government
Our military being dismantled from within
Christians and Jews slaughtered around the world because of our deal leader
Lawlessness is the new law
GBLT taking over

Where do the candidates stand on legalization of pot?

Normally, I’d care. Not right now, though.

The economy is a disaster, the country is being overrun by freeloading foreigner invaders, unemployment has skyrocketed, the Gaystapo are acting like those crazy bad guys in “Mad Max”, the “pope” is pimpin’ communism to the U.S. Congress and the “media” wants talk about marijuana in the 2016 election. America REALLY deserves the misery waiting in our future. We deserve everything we are about to get.

I’m not saying that this is good or bad, but regardless of the irresponsibly wide interpretation of the Commerce Clause (1.8.3) by FDR’s activist justices, the Supreme Court had historically clarified the following. Not only have the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate commerce, but neither have the states delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate intrastate agricultural production.

• ”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

So unconstitutional federal laws dealing with intrastate marijuana are another example where the corrupt, post-17th Amendment Senate should have lead Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution to the states which would have given Congress the specific power to regulate marijuana production.

Instead, the Senate wrongly passed bills dealing with marijuana that Congress had no constitutional authority to make.

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators who help to pass bills that Congress has no constitutional authority to make along with it.
