If the shoe fits, wear it, but check first to make sure there's no libertarian-approved C4 plastic explosives inside.
Obviously, the silly shoe you attemped to place doesn't fit.
- In fact, if anyone reads YOUR late night postings, -- it is pretty evident that you are the substance abuser around here, not I.
Most are even more incoherant than your C4 bit above.
To use the commerce clause, that would only effect the transport and sale of drugs. How is it that they can also put federal charges on you for mere ownership?
HOOT ALERT! -- Aggie claims that states are authorized to violate our constitution, by the bill of rights themselves! -- Wild & weird reasoning tex. - Thanks.
Why isn't a violation of our rights when a state prohibits a substance? Because you choose to live in that state. If the majority of that state sees a certain substance as too threatening, then it can outlaw it. Or it can pass the decision down to counties and let each one decide for itself. You bought your land, knowing that it is bound by the state and county laws. You have no right to violate those laws on your land, because you did not purchase that right with the land. If you don't like the laws, you are free to leave.
The U.S. Constitution is the 'Law of the Land', and it guarantees that all states shall have a republican form of government. - Art IV, Sec 4.
States were given NO powers to prohibit 'substances', or any other type of property. -- In fact, the 14th specifically says that states cannot deprive persons of life, liberty or property without due process.
-- Prohibitory type law is not due process, it is a taking, - a banning of property before it can be used for 'evil'.
Tex, -- we've went over these elementry constitutional principles many times before. -- When will you begin to realize their truth & wisdom? - You are arguing against your own liberty.
The USC does not prohibit prohibition. It simply does not authorize the FED to do it. This is quite elementary my old friend.

You are simply denying the constitutional facts as I posted them just above. -- Do you consider this an argument?
If people knowingly donate AIDS infected blood then they should be prosecuted.
The blood bank that failed to detect the infected blood should be investigated and possibly prosecuted for negligence.
"Due process" defined by the handy Insta-Ideologuese-to-English translation service: "No one asked for my permission to ban recreational poisons or private nuclear weapons, and therefore the law is null and void."
I reject the premise that crack should be legalized because people drink beer.

An idiotic, jihadic 'interpretation' of plain english words, quoting a very easy to understand U.S. Constitution.
And the root causes should be ignored? How irrational.
People who engage in sodomy and shooting up drugs have sold disease contaminated blood and infected others.
"The catholic principle of republicanism is that every people may establish what form of government they please and change it as they please, the will of the nation being the only thing essential." --Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1792.
"The mother principle [is] that 'governments are republican only in proportion as they embody the will of their people, and execute it.'" --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816.
"A government is republican in proportion as every member composing it has his equal voice in the direction of its concerns: not indeed in person, which would be impracticable beyond the limits of a city or small township, but by representatives chosen by himself and responsible to him at short periods." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816.
Do you support alcohol prohibition?
