Wow new guy- are you one of those trolls whose strategy is: "I'm going to be SO extremely 'conservative' that I'm going to attack members of this board from the RIGHT. Hahahahahaha."?

Your attitude on this issue is left-wing, from an American perspective, and I'll say why, for the benefit of the non-trolls here.

The US Constitution gives the federal government absolutely NO power to regulate an individual's use of ANYTHING. Nor dictate what that individual can cultivate on his own property. There is no interpretation of the Constitution, the writings of the Founders, nor of anything they have said or written at any time that can be construed as support for ANY such power in the hands of the federal government. Wickard v. Filburn was a BS massive power grab for the feds, leading to the communist horror show that is the War on Drugs and it should be overturned.

Having said that, like with Roe v Wade, there is nothing preventing each of the individual states from outlawing marijuana and other drugs on their own. They can outlaw alcohol, too, while they're at it, but at least the representatives who do such a thing will be accountable to their constituents, which was the whole point of federalism in the first place.

I guess you’re for Oregon leftwing ‘legalize all drugs’ then?

I really find it comforting when supposed right wingers come out as the exact same as far leftists. It separates the wheat from the chaff.
