This judge is obviously a drug-addled pothead, 'cause only such types favor reform of federal drug laws...

The next day, the man's 11-year-old grandson brought him three marijuana cigarettes, Kane said. Anybody have this kid's beeper number?

The federal government should focus on keeping illegal drugs out of the country and regulating the manufacture of drugs transported across state lines.
Isn't this exactly what we are currently doing?

America's war on drugs is costly, ignorant and doesn't work, a federal judge said Tuesday. Gee...what was your first clue Sherlock?

The feds go quite a bit further, especially regarding the medical marijuana issue, where the pot does NOT cross state lines, and regarding cultivation for personal use, where no commerce occurs. And the judge recommends that the feds REGULATE drugs, not issue idiotic blanket prohibitions that usurp powers that should be left to the states.

Of course the dirty little secret of this thread is that Judge Kane was appointed in 1977, that means appointed by Jimmy Carter.

"I don't favor drugs at all," Kane said. "What I really am opposed to is the fact that our present policies encourage children to take drugs." How?
Answered in the text you quote just below.
Ending the present policy of interdiction, police action and imprisonment would eliminate the economic incentives for drug dealers to provide drugs to minors, Kane said.
Oh really. So removing penalties or punishment for illegal activity will STOP them from selling drugs to minors?
Removing penalties for selling to adults, while retaining them for selling to children, will give them an economic incentive to not sell to children---namely, the risk of losing their legal adult business.
How about following the law and not rewriting it.
Where does it say he's rewriting the law?
The federal government should focus on keeping illegal drugs out of the country and regulating the manufacture of drugs transported across state lines.
NO S&%T Sherlock. WTF do you think they are doing everyday?
That, and much else that they have no Constitutional authority to do.

Judge Kane was appointed in 1977, that means appointed by Jimmy Carter. And Sandra Day O'Connor was appointed by Ronald Reagan; does that make her a conservative?

"drugs are benign" "super" jurist, Judge Kane.Please show where Judge Kane said anything remotely like "drugs are benign"; that appears to be merely your baldfaced lie.
