So I see sin is your problem. And you get to be the judge of what sin is of course. People like you make me ashamed of religion.

So it's OK to violate the Constitution if it's being used as an "excuse"?

No. It's wrong to twist and turn the Constitution so that it protects the bestiality of the few, to the detriment of the many.

The Constitution was formed not only to protect RIGHTS, but to protect RIGHT.

So I see sin is your problem.

Actually, sin is EVERYONE'S problem.

I never got my answer from anybody about how much land and pot it takes to create enough oil equal to a gallon of gas. Was there an answer?

This thread died out. Drung addicted people here in America will laugh at this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/550757/posts

There is a real war now. For the first time.
Be well and stay sober.

drung = drug Long day folks!

The taliban seem to have sin under control, perhaps you should live there. You could tie rocks around old womens necks again and God will float the righteous.

The coward Outraged won't answer my simple questions. Typical Drug Warrior chickensh*t.

It should fail in court, and I hope it is challenged.

It's wrong to twist and turn the Constitution

What's "twisted and turned" about the following argument?

The Constitution does not explicitly grant the federal government the power to ban drugs (although it does grant the federal government the power to "regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States"), so by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments the federal government has no such general power (although it may ban the import, export, and/or interstate shipment of drugs)---and in particular, the federal government has no power to ban the intrastate making, distributing, possessing, or consuming of drugs.

I never got my answer from anybody

And I never got my answer to this post to you---or this one or this one or this one. Coward.

"The DEA notice in the Federal Register states that it is illegal to consume "any food or beverage (such as pasta, tortilla chips, candy bars"

Stop the war on (some) candy bars!

"I've told myself that I won't fight this war while the "real" war is on, not the one against some of the American people."

Why are government resources still going towards this when there are TERRORISTS AMONG US!? WTF is wrong with people? Christ, even if you want to resume it later, fine, but at this time shouldn't every law enforcement person's priority be terrorists over pot smokers?

Anthrax is being mailed throughout the country. THOUSANDS of civilians were murdered horrifically. Is anyone still concerned about their neighbor getting high or are you more concerned with terrorists running around with biological agents? Let's have some fricking perspective here.

You know what's funny? My dad once ate a $hitload of poppy seed muffins one night (wierd cravings), and the next day he had a random piss test at work. Guess what the test turned up? Trace amounts of opiates. So, following current logic (or lack thereof), shouldn't the DEA also ban all food containing poppy seeds? Don't take my hemp-seed beer damnit!!!! It's good stuff =) But seriously, consider the nonsense of this.... Cutaneous absorption (i.e. lotions, shampoo, lip balm) of hemp seed oil ain't gonna get you high. Fermented mash of the seeds (beer) will get you a bit pissed, but not stoned. The actual amount of THC absorbed is minimal. Geez, guys!! Get off the rag and do some worthwhile research... Like solving the mystery of what's really in hot dogs! </rant mode off>

They use the hemp product ban to keep the drug testing scheme in place. The tests used detect hard drug usuage for only days so they catch nobody but hard core users, but cannabis shows up for 3 weeks or so. They catch enough of them to justify the enormous expense on paper. Now if they can just get something like drug courts going they can allow certain perps to go rehab/spas out of their own pocket and the rest can go straight to jail. No a bad idea if you favor a two tierd justice system.
