This has been discussed time and time again. "The people" can not change drug policy. Those in charge are APPOINTED. No one who runs for government office is going to end government control. Its just that simple, and you know it.
Practically, if the people want to end the "war", they can. Some states have passed initiatives for medical marijuana. Problem is, that would be illegal
You just contradicted yourself. If the feds still deem "drugs" illegal, then "the people"(who are the States) cant change anything. Where did the Constitution give the Feds the power to dictate drug policy to the States? It didn't, and you know it.
It is already common knowledge that the basis of the 1970 CSA is fraudulent. The entire basis for drug prohibition is fraudulent. How do you expect a government who still recognizes fraudulent laws and rational to change anything. The "average person" can not even hope to be appointed to a position that could change things. The "people can end the WOD" arguments is the most flimsy argument around. The government will not give up control without a war.
That "and you know it" was cool. Almost like a real debater. But you are wrong. The people can change drug policy. The appointed officials who oversee this process are the Attorney General and the Sec. of Health and Human Services, both of whom are appointed by the President, who is, as you know (he he), elected by the People. If drug policy changes were a priority, it could be done in one election cycle.

The People are the People, not the States. You must be one of those charming combination confederate-libertarian. The Congress is the People's Federal representative body. CSA could, I fogot to mention, be altered or repealed there. Or,as already mentoined, by the Executive. Just as I am not willing to debate the 9th and 10th amendments with NC Libertarian, so am I unwilling to debate nullification with you.

Ah, the old "you know it" again. Gosh, I don't know. Interstate commerce? Necessary and proper? Listen, I am not going to waste my time debating what the drug laws would be if only the most strict construction of the Constitution were observed. Know why not? Because that is not reality.

I don't expect them to change anything. I simply pointed out the very direct and intact means which exists: Through the election process.
The "average person" can not even hope to be appointed to a position that could change things.
You can vote, write letters, form organizations, petition, editorialize, run for office, etc etc etc. Quit your whining.
The "people can end the WOD" arguments is the most flimsy argument around. The government will not give up control without a war.
There's your confederate streak showing again. Careful.
