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'. - 267 by tpaine

The USC does not prohibit prohibition. It simply does not authorize the FED to do it. - tex

You are simply denying the constitutional facts as I posted them just above. -- Do you consider this an argument? - 269 by tpaine

The fact that ownership of hard drugs violates the rights of your neighbors is far beyond due process in order to arrest you for possesion.

You have never established that mythical, irrational 'fact'. -- And your garbled repetition of it does not make 'substance abuse' a rights violation.

-- In any case, you are trying to divert the subject. - States cannot prohibit the mere possession of property, ['substances'], without due process of law.

It's not the mere possesion, but the possesion of it in a state that outlaws it. Just as it would be prohibited for you to own a nuke in your garage. The fact that it is too dangerous and violates the rights of your neighbors is plenty reason to arrest you. You will then go to court, as with drug possession. Due process all the way.
