Pot should remain ILLEGAL.

Not going to argue with your statement, but it should be a matter for the states to decide, not the Feds. When the Feds first outlawed weed they did via putting a tax on it, and then not selling the necessary tax stamps.

Apparently Congress got the power to outlaw things nationally via the Wickard v Filburn case where SCOTUS ruled that Congress can regulate anything that could possibly be sold across state lines regardless of whether it actually was.

The fact that the Dems are tacking on a tax on marijuana means it will be legal only if the taxes are paid on it. They should ask California how well that’s working out.

Good luck trying to tax something that is as easy to grow as a tomato plant.

I concur!

Democrats want to use pot legalization as a "get out the vote" tool.

Republicans want to use pot legalization as a "see how hypocritical Democrats are" tool.

I want the Federal government out of the "War on Drugs" gambit because it is nothing but a police-state supporting scheme! The Feds have absolutely NO BUSINESS outlawing what we do in our own houses unless it harms others - PERIOD!
