Kind of reminds me of prohibition.

Except that "Prohibition", the War on Alcohol, required a Constitutional Amendment.

Why doesn't the War on Other Drugs require a Constitutional Amendment?

Interstate Commerce Clause.

Anyone just hear Rush talking about the ICC aspect of the medipot decision? He's a little late to the game ... we libertarians have been crying in the wilderness about Commerce Clause abuses by the feds for years.

I wonder why Rush is on board now, and he mentioned nothing about "dope-smoking, maggot-infested FM types" ... :^)

Courts could just rule any law unconstitutional.
