I guess you DON'T mean the hundreds of cases tried daily buttressing our argument about the legality of the prohibition of illegal drugs.

If anyone is ignoring legal precedent, it is you.

Whence? Who, outside of an obscure Shakespeare reference class at the learning annex, uses whence?

Anyway, I could refer you to the several thousand page FDA handbook, but you wouldn't go there.

And so the fight should stop? The fact that some people persist in committing illegal activity doesn't mean the law for it isn't valid.

People are still committing murder, rape and child molestation despite our best efforts to stop these crimes. That doesn't mean we should stop the prosecution... it just means that the punishments aren't harsh enough yet.

Or, we could just start using your posts as an inexpensive alternative to compost and/or manure.

No one is advocating that states should be deprived their traditional police power to ensure their domestic tranquility.

Slavery was just as wrong. Why are we still repeating the mistakes of the past?

You keep ignoring the repeal of the prohibition amendment. It is like saying slavery could still be legal if there is enough reeferless madness to manufacture sufficient precedent. IV,2 should have precluded any necessity for the Civil War amendments; and, even the womens' suffrage amendment.

That is the equivalent to saying a (drug) war is better than actually Providing for the general Welfare of the United States in accordance with the enumerated powers delegated to the general government of the Union.

In any event, it may eventually become a moot point if the states eventually decide to use the precedent being established by the US Supreme Court concerning nullification of powers of a duly constituted interstate authority.

I tell you what.

When there is an admendment to the constitution legalizing your drug of choice, then we will talk.

Until then, Pfft.

Dan, you can't smoke pot because it "drives white women to seek sexual relations with negros".

I smoked a couple times when I was younger, but I never really liked it that much. I just stick to my alcohol. :D

If I were any calmer, I'd be in a coma.
