do you think federal agencies are going to enforce state laws?

You keep deliberately missing the point, statist. The Feds should respect state laws when state laws are within the enumerated powers of the Constitution and the 10th Amendment.

A goofy looking scrambled-brained mutt.

If you know the answer, why did you ask me?

Why don’t you answer the question? It’s a simple one on a Constitutional website.

I won’t respect laws that make drugs legal. I won’t expect anyone else to respect them either.

I decided to ignore the Paulbots. They’re too cumbersome to deal with.

I'm not a Paulbot.

So tell me where in the Constitution that the Fedgov has the power to regulate what someone grows in their own basement for their own use.

I really hope you don't fall back on Wickard for that.

And yet another dodge.

Alcohol is legal.

It took a Constitutional amendment to make it illegal on a national level.

So why can the Feds declare pot to be illegal without similar action?

You keep refusing to answer that question. Typical for a drug warrior.

“I oppose legalizing drugs’’< And logic like this insures there will always be a “war on drugs’’.

Pretty lame, coming from someone who has yet to articulate his rationale for the Fedgov to ban personal pot cultivation.

Nope. Never said that. We’ve had a drug war in America for going on a hundred years. What is the standard of failure?

And then so-called conservatives chime in...

No doubt with a glass of Scotch in-hand. And then complain that others want to ban cigarettes and guns. I've got news for ya kiddies...you ceded that principle by supporting te Drug War. The rules are clear: The government taketh away if enough people are convinced it's a good thing for them to do so. The ball is in play...don't get whiny when others take a swing.

Fascinating. What concrete forms will this nonrespecting take? Will you take the personal initiative to lock users of legal drugs in your closet?
