Federal drug laws depend on the all-inclusive New Deal court interpretation of the commerce clause. Any FReeper who thinks that the idea that wheat grown for personal consumption can be regulated by the federal government (Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111, 1942) is anathema to the original Constitution, personal liberty and federalism, but that the same regulation of marijuana is just fine, is inconsistent to the point of irrationality.

Talk about "irrationality". The day that (unfermented) wheat can give you a buzz or cause you to be cited for DUI, is the day that wheat and marijuana will be on the same plateau of "regulatability".

"is anathema to the original Constitution, personal liberty and federalism, but that the same regulation of marijuana is just fine, is inconsistent to the point of irrationality."

Then what about those FReepers who call for the legalization of marijuana but favor keeping all other recreational drugs illegal? Just like the author of this article?

Talk about constitutionally inconsistent!
