Pot will never be legalized on a national basis. I am glad. For children and adolescents, it's the best outcome. You poor dopers will just have to get used to drinking, or you'll have to break the law. Nice to see such contradiction from those who condemn others on a daily basis: "Constitution this," "Constitution that," yet it's okay for you to break the law, which most of you are suggesting and encouraging. For you, it is justified, right? The more these potheads speak, the more they prove that their position is wrong on this issue.....

Nor should it be, unless by a constitutional Amendment. Which I think is extraordinarily unlikely.

Speaking of the Constitution, do you think marijuana policies should be a State and not a Federal issue?

If yes, we are in agreement.

If no, please show me where the Constitution delegates to the Federal government this power, as the Tenth Amendment requires.

I'd hope not. It's not a federal issue.

Democrats are fond of doing things "for the children."

You poor dopers will just have to get used to drinking, or you'll have to break the law.

You addressed this post to All. All means ALL OF FREE REPUBLIC. Are you insinuating that everyone on FR is a doper?

Nice to see such contradiction from those who condemn others on a daily basis: "Constitution this," "Constitution that,"

Yeah, we're kinda funny that way, since this is a Constitutional restoration website. Sorry you find that annoying.

yet it's okay for you to break the law, which most of you are suggesting and encouraging.

So the feds should just pass a law, whether or not the Constitution grants them the power to do such, and we should bow to their authority? That is the route to totalitarianism.

For you, it is justified, right? The more these potheads speak, the more they prove that their position is wrong on this issue.....

Ah, the pothead slur again. Anyone who stands up to the federal government's usurpation of power in the drug war must be a pothead. Can't possibly be opposition to the federal behemoth. Nah, it must be the drugs, because if it wasn't, you wouldn't have to actually examine your premises...

Liberal debate tactic #1: Engage in political pedophilia

Definition of political pedophilia: An adult using a child for their own selfish political goals.

Example: We need mandatory gun locks because children might get hold of the weapon and hurt themselves or someone else. It's for the children!

Rosie O'Donnell couldn't have said it better!

What I find so amazing is how conservatives, who normally can gin up cogent, rational arguments for issues such as state's rights, smaller government, lower taxes, and reduced regulation of businesses transmogrify into blithering idiots at the mere mention of drug decriminalization. They become completely incapable of coming up with a logical, rational defense of their positions.
