Should the people of Texas have the right to legalize marijuana?

Or, better yet, outlaw alcohol.

The State of Texas, or any other state, can do that today, under the terms of the 21st amendment, section 2.

Or they could before today. Now I guess as long as one does their brewing and/or cooking in private and consumes it that way, they can't. Nor can they prohibit marijuana culitivation for private use, nor a host of other things which come under the rubric of "privacy".

Intesting times and and interesting social experiment the court may have unleashed. If they'd merely used "equal protection" as O'Connor did, but the other 5 did not, it wouldn't be a problem.
