Roscoe of course ignores the fact the states and localities would be free to prohibit drugs. This is in fact the way we can gradually stand down from the federal drug war: transfer the drug laws to the states and allow them to prohibit or not, as the people choose. Scaremongering about allowing cocaine to flood the country is beside the point. There is no reason to think that would happen, or that states would act irresponsibly.Of course Rosecoe snips here:Who wants to bet the Drug War writes Roscoe's paycheck?
allowing cocaine to flood the country is beside the point.Perfectly illustrating the general quality of the "legal" argument by Drug Warriors. They think a bunch of double talk written by hacks trumps the Xth amandment. They argue that anything invented since 1800 is outside the Constitution so the feds can do anything they want with it. They feel they have to justify themselves otherwise they would be a lower life-form than an IRS employee - at least they HAVE an amendment legalizing their jobs.
Which is the point of that question Roscoe dodges: Is Roscoe's paycheck made possible by the Drug War?
