ALL or none.

I don’t recall seeing anything in the US Constitution in regards to the DEA or FDA.

If the states want to do it, that’s their business, as long as it doesn’t violate the interstate commerce clause.

It’s all or none, unless that is, you have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo?

You need a prescription to purchase antibiotics, yet you can go down the road and buy enough booze or pot to fry every brain cell in your head.

We don’t want our kids and grandkids on drugs.

Well before any state had legalized marijuana, kids reported they could get it more easily than beer or cigarettes - which stands to reason, since dealers in legal drugs usually card for age while dealers in illegal drugs never do.

>>>Great! Lets turn the whole nation into streets filled with lazy, stoned out teens and millennials begging for money for their weed habit. It’s working so well here in California and in Colorado.

Colrado’s unemployment rate in February remained unchanged at 3.0 percent. That’s lower than the national unemployment rate of 4.1 percent.

monitored, enforced, funded, and prosecuted when violated

And all the more so for an across-the-board criminalization.

Nonsense - can conservatives pass a spending reduction ONLY if they cut spending to only those areas authorized by the Constitution?

ALL or none.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Where in the Constitution is the federal government granted authority over the intrastate growing, selling, or using of marijuana?

Noble Free and his fellow pot pushers think they are experts on the “Constitution.”

I notice you didn't answer the question. I'll bet I'm not the only one who noticed that.

I notice you promote marrijuana.

Your post is a cowardly evasion and a lie.

Noble Free can’t take the heat.

Another cowardly evasion from Marvin. What a surprise.

“The fact that Schumer, a radical leftist, would be proposing this ought to make conservatives at least THINK about accepting it out of hand.”
_____

How is this different from what Trump laid out =>

_____

“Trump tells senator there will be no marijuana crackdown”

President Trump called Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner this week to tell him there will be no crackdown on states that legalized marijuana for recreational use.

Trump also said he will support legislation to allow state autonomy under federal law, which currently makes pot possession for any reason outside limited research a crime.

You mean the nonsense I shot down here - to which you could reply only “I disagree”? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3600988/replies?c=87

Haven't you ever heard of public intoxication laws? Do you think these are unreasonable?

I'm all for them - and they should apply to both marijauna and alcohol, as the use of either in private should be legal.

“There is nothing left for them other than the pot card.”

Trump yanked the issue right out from under their feet. See post #89.

Pot promoter Noble Free is not only a Constitutional scholar,

but he also a practitioner of Soros “logic.”

I could care less about the pot issue. As far as I’m concerned it is a states rights issue. Legalize It, tax it, and remove the profits for the criminal element.

This is the day all pot smokers have made theirs. They smoke pot across the nation at 4:20 PM on 4/20.

It is also the anniversary of Hitler's birthday, the Oklahoma City bombing, Columbine and the day Jimmy Carter was attacked by a rabbit.

Why in the world would “dedicated funding streams” for women and minority businesses to grow and distribute the drug be something the FedGov would need to provide?

Because if they don't the newly-legal business will be dominated by those evil competent white men.

No....this is for the young people vote. It’s sure not for the good of the country.
