I thought I had cleared this question up in the last two posts or so. But you just can't answer it can you?

I must have missed your rebuttal. Can you re-post it?

You have made this painfully clear.

How is that relevant to legalizing it or not? Must I personally use every single drug, as well as giving it to my hypothetical kids, just because I want it to be legal? I want Nissan and Volvo vehicles to be legal within the US. I also want it to be legal to drive and buy them. However, I would NOT buy and drive such vehicles. Does that make my hypothetical argument to keep the buying/driving of such cars legal invalid?

Are you talking about David Carradine? He was naked, so it most likely was auto-erotica.

Here... maybe we can have this and then all the marijuana prohibitionists will be happy.

Why not just admit that we wasted trillions on the Cold War and the artificial Wars on abstractions, merely to admit that what we really want, is to become the evil communist empire we claimed to abhor; even with a McCarthy era phrase in our pledge.


By what latitude of construction is there any specifically enumerated power to Prohibit commerce among the several States since the repeal of that only delegated power?

Well, since drugs cross not only state boarders but international ones as well, ummm, yeah.

There was no rebuttal as no one has answered the question I posted w/o trying to change what I was saying.

I think you have misunderstood the 9th and 21st amendments.

As far as a federal ban on drugs go, I don't think that the federal government has any power on the subject, except perhaps in regulating whether it travels from one state to another (interstate commerce) or whether it enters the country (although both of those are sketchy). Still, one area where I may differ from some on drug policy is in my belief that states have every right to ban drugs as they so choose. I don't think the federal government has the power given them but the states are not limited in that matter and can do as they so choose.

Two truths that many Americans seem to have forgotten:
1. Men are endowed by God with inalienable rights.
2. Government's purpose is to secure man's God-given rights.

Well, that is a claim made by the media. There were reports that his hands were tied behind his back as well, which pretty much puts that theory in the hole as well as suicide.

The martial arts underground killed him so he wouldn't let secrets out, like bruce lee and son.

I admit I havent even begun to comb through every page of this so it has probably been mentioned, but how about the fact that it is a very harmfull substance and really has no real good. Thats at least one reason right?

Marijuana appears to be less harmful than alcohol and tobacco, and those are legal.

Should we go back to Prohibition?

Of course not, it's stupid. This comes down to the idea that it is none of your business if someone gets high or not.

Besides, "has no real good" is subjective and, quite frankly, unsubstantiated. Who are you to say that having fun is not "good?" Watching movies can make people fat (through lack of movement and encouraging a low-activity lifestyle) and doesn't really serve any real purpose. At least, that is the case with some movies. Should we ban them?
