Yeah, but don’t forget that smoking cigarettes is a no-no!

Is smoking marijuana good for the lungs?
Does it increase pulmonary capacity?
Should athletes smoke marijuana?
Is the possession of marijuana legal under federal law?
Does the use of marijuana increase respect for the law?
Does flouting federal law about marijuana use provide a good example and a strong argument for enforcing federal law about immigration?

Help me out. I know where the Constitution grants authority to fedgov over immigration, but where does it delegate to fedgov the authority to regulate intrastate marijuana?

Are those rhetorical questions or did you actually want a reply?

It's a good question.

As far as I understand -- and I am not an expert -- federal regulation of drugs is done under the authority of the Commerce Clause. It seems to be a weak argument, but it has been recently re-confirmed by the Supreme Court.

As a practical matter, the federal law against marijuana is still on the books, and if you want to be consistent in rejecting the Constitutional authority for federal drug regulation, you have to get rid of the whole thing: the FDA would have no authority over heroin, fentanyl, opioids, and all prescription medicines.

Be all of that as it may, people who flout the federal marijuana laws give comfort and aid to people who flout the federal immigration laws. They also support and finance, directly or indirectly, the murderous drug cartels and the crimes they commit.

Is smoking marijuana good for the lungs?
Is smoking anything good for the lungs?

Does it increase pulmonary capacity?
Are you talking about the smoking or the marijuana?

Should athletes smoke marijuana?
Shouldn't athletes be able to decide for themselves
whether or not to smoke marijuana?

Is the possession of marijuana legal under federal law?
Do you let pedophiles babysit your kids?
(it's just as stupid and rhetorical as your question.)

Does the use of marijuana increase respect for the law?
Does not prosecuting people for crimes increase respect for the law?

Does flouting federal law about marijuana use provide a good example and a strong argument for enforcing federal law about immigration?

What difference does a federal law make when anybody can get weed delivered as fast, or faster, than a pizza?

Rhetorical questions can be so much fun.

Hey ifinnegan, My team brought this to me an hour ago. While it explains very little their recommendation is that you have a great Tuesday. I concur.
