I hope the Feds make it emphatically clear that marijuana use will never be legalized in the US. I hear Canada will start legalizing mj so maybe the pot heads can move north, way north.

Ever heard of the Tenth Amendment? It means that drugs should be a state issue.

It't not the government's job to tell US what the laws are going to be. People who want beauracrats to tell them how it is now and aways will be should move east, Far East (China, North Korea, etc).

The WOD is a despotic sham masquerading as public health issue. If there was a shred of consistancy and logic to this, then alcohol and tobacco would be illegal as well.

The State in which I live decriminalized possession back in the 70's. Anything under a certain amount (more than 3 times what the Canadians are proposing for their decrim) results in a $100 citation. As long as I'm not stupid enough to grow it or sell it, its bascially a traffic ticket. To quote Walter Williams, "Smugglers are my heroes". I'll be staying put.

I'd rather live next to a pothead than a drunk any day. I'm amazed that so many so readily accept the use/abuse of alcohol and tobacco, but go ballistic when the subject turns to toking. The facts are there: of the three, cannabis is, by far, the least harmful.

The Federal government has no authority to regulate drugs. This is due to the Tenth Amendment. You know, the one that conservatives point to when they want the government out of some economic issue. It applies to social issues as well. The entire Federal War on Drugs is criminal activity.

Since the Federal judges do not automatically throw out all drug charges as unconstitutional, it is up to juries to refuse to convict drug defendants. They are not doing their duty as jurors otherwise.
