It would not be impermissable. Oh? Thread is full of posts claiming that it is "unconstitutional" to prohibit anything.

Oh? Thread is full of posts claiming that it is "unconstitutional" to prohibit anything. As elmer fudd correctly stated, only by passing a constitutional amendment can the federal government ban narcotics, as they were required to do with alcohol. In the absence of such an amendment, can you explain how the federal government can constitutionally prohibit a citizen from growing "unapproved" plants in his own home?

You must be high on the drugs you want to prohibit if you can't understand such a simple concept. Yes, it is unconstitutional now for the federal government to prohibit the use of drugs. If they ammend the constitution, that changes things doesn't it? Simple enough concept for even you to understand. The income tax was unconstitutional yet the government wanted one anyway. How did they resolve this issue? They ammended the constitution in order to permit an income tax and legally there was no more problem.
