Which brings me back to the original post, which is that the above items are crimes. Smoking pot is a vice.

Yep. What makes the situation even more absurd is that the feds used the Commerce Clause to criminalize this vice, thus trampling the 10th Amendment in the process.

The feds trample anything that they please. Do you believe that we can actually turn back the clock? I’m not hopeful.

And the Drug War has turned police into an antagonistic force against us and to the virtual elimination of the 4th Amendment (No knock raids, warrants based on criminal informants, etc).
