Do you feel the same way about the states' ability to regulate the legalization of marijuana?

"Do you feel the same way about the states' ability to regulate the legalization of marijuana?"I thought I already answered this question. I'll be happy to answer it again.
As with any law, absent Congressional action, the state has the power to regulate the commerce in their state. They can prohibit the sale of sex toys, for example. Since Congress has chosen to regulate marijuana, the states are bound by the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution to comply.
Are you saying that, despite federal action in this area, states should still be allowed to regulate marijuana as they please?

"I could just as easily said..."
Point taken, rp; what was I thinking in debating what you actually did say? The thing is, I'm more comfortable debating things that have actually been said, and am not too sure how to do otherwise.
"Now if, as you postulate, there is no ill effect"
Oh, now I see. You merely assert that your opponent said something through a misleading accusation, and then debate the false point.
Thanks for the intro to straw-man debating. Is this really the way you wish to debate? Seems kinda worthless to me.

Your argument only makes sense if you think it would be OK to have a crack house next door to you, prostitutes walking up and down your sidewalk, and an OTB parlor across the street.If you don't want them, don't buy them.
This is a false analogy, leading to an illogically false premise.
They are not the same.
The (legal) sale of sex toys is something that is consumed by the individual, for his/her own private use, with no other impact on society. It's uses and functions occur in the home, in private, in what should be well beyond the prying eyes of others, the omnipotent state included.
The ones you have mentioned in your false analogy all impact society because of their public manifestation. They are, in fact (except for OTB), illegal.
Demonstrations like this bring nothing to the table, but rather show you as someone who cannot successfully argue the point you wish to make.
If you really want to win converts to your cause, don't insult our intelligence like this.

"Maybe his next piece of legislation should be to ban tight jeans and push-up bras, so nobody will get turned on by looking. Then there are the nylon nighties....."
After that he'll try to ban humans. Humans are the primary cause of human sexual arousal.

But D batteries won't - as long as the "flashlights" are properly designed.

"Wonder what the penalty will be for driving in SC with a loaded sex toy in your car?"
Depends on whether it's a bolt action dildo, a semiautomatic dildo, or an assault dildo.
Best thing to do is enroll in a state approved course where you receive proper training and demonstrate proficiency in the use of sex toys. Then, you can go down to the county sheriff's office and apply for a concealed dildo permit.
Anyone know which states are reciprocal concealed carry states? Anyone know which states are open carry?....

When dildos are outlawed, lawmakers will still be dildos.

I am in the process of copyrighting "Dildos, drugs, guns, boots, BBQ". That wil be the name of my new country rock group as soon as I can hire some performers. I plan to ask Hank Williams Jr. to come on board as advisor.

Are you saying that the citizens should not be allowed to petition their state legislature to prohibit these products? Are you saying that they must allow this in the name of "freedom" -- the priciple being "Freedom for me and not for thee"?

Paulsen, you have demonstrated incredible ability to get things "Bass Ackwards". Do you walk down the street that way? Is your car stuck in reverse?

Too bad Warren Zevon isn't around anymore. He could sing, "Send lawyers, guns and dildos...."

make it a felony to sell devices used primarily for sexual stimulationWell, that would include a lot of T.V.'s and DVD players, as well as many cable and dish installations. Not to mention Bill Clinton's cigars.
