He lamented that he had not separated the male and female plans. George wanted sensemilla, but resigned himself to another winter of cleaning seeds and residue out of the inside crease of his Zeppelin II album.

When I was a youth I smoked pot and nothing happened to me.... yes it did... no it did not... yes it did... they really are out to get me....

now, point out to me where in the constitution the federal government is specifically granted the power over any of the things I listed, including the war on drugs..

I do not want your opinion, just the facts.. and remember, any powers not SPECIFICALLY granted to the federal government are reserved by the states and the people respectively..

“Armed” EPA officials? Why is that not surprising? I can’t think of a single reason that EPA employees would be armed.

Apparently Canabis also causes multi personality dis-order. Or maybe the mathematicians were smoking it too.

Your nephew is lucky to have such an uncle...but any government powerful enough to spare you such a bureden..is probably too powerful to permit the freedoms required to create a prosperous society.

A few points:

1. I agree with you that the Federal government does not have constitutional powers over drug use or abuse. States would.

2. If you want to reference marijuana use by George Washington, consider using a source other than Wikipedia. They are sketchy at best and anything that has to do with dope is really suspect.

3. Calling Satin Doll a bootlicker was rude, and deserves an apology.

It’s a creepy email. He obviously did not just want to say “Hello.” He meant to imply more than that. Can no one see that? As it is, it seemed like a threat to me, but if they did what they are accused of doing, they overreacted.

600% chance of developing schizophrenia as an adult.

That's the kind of statement that reveals more about the person making it than the subject they're talking about.

“The Federal Government has been taking away your rights for years, one little, seemingly inconsequential piece at a time . . . “

It’s called Prgressiveism.

Government has the power to protect the health and welfare of its citizens.

Which "government"? Show us where the States transferred that power to the national government, and you'll have a defense of the federal drug war, and the EPA.

I'll make it easy. If they did that, it will be listed among the enumerated powers. Just tell us which one you think it is.

Is it wrong to look forward to the day a bureaucrat trying to "make an example" of an ordinary citizen gets made an example of by the citizens in return?

Doubt you'll get a straight answer to that question, but keep asking. What people don't say is often as informative as what they do say.

Joe: No, sorry, I just lost track of who posted what. The GW and boot licker comments came from mo.

Sorry to you about that.

My comments should have been directed at mo.

Since your comments were directed toward me...

The deference paid to the Federal Govmt in general, and in specific, to its “War on Drugs” is the basis for the erosion of individual freedoms in the USA. That erosion results in a cumulative loss of the freedoms necessary for the prosperity we have taken for granted. SD clearly stated he wished the Feds more power

The reference to GW sorting his hemp seeds is direct from his diaries..

7. Began to separate the Male from the Female hemp at Do—rather too late.

I don’t generally apologize to those publically wishing for more Federal interference in our lives.

I have acknowledged my respect for him in doing for his nephew.

So you’d be OK with making certain drugs illegal at the State level? That’s constitutional.

That at least acknowledges the existence of the 10th Amendment
