For what it's worth.

About $0.02, the standard, customary rate for bloviating.

Drug War case law is being used to "regulate" RKBA out of existence. The Nanny State "war on porn" is being used to shut down talk radio.

The only one I agree with is the one that has a non-consenting victim in the equation. Murder statutes are rightly a States issue, not a Federal one. Over turn Roe V Wade and de-fund Planned Parenthood.

How about fighting on the side of Freedom, liberty, and personal responsibility some time? Yes, even the parts of "freedom" that you personally find "icky".

Abortion, by their logic, should also be a state right

Well, we've all seen just how well federal control of abortion regulation has worked out - pro-life states can't be pro-life in their laws. That's the thing about Frankengov. You want him to do just your bidding, but eventually he'll tear down your village and kill YOUR sacred cow.

If you outlaw porn, it'll just go underground and become more worse. Child porn is already illegal, and most municipalities have strict zoning requirements preventing adult video shops from operating. I support that, and so do even most social liberals. Yes, porn is prevalent on the internet, but again even the adult websites have strict guidelines against child porn. You can't stop it from going into someone else's computer even if you banned it. They'll just move off-shore and set up shop there.

I believe that marijuana should be legalized up to a certain weight, maybe several grams or something. It should only be sold during daylight hours, those who purchase it must be at least 21 with a valid ID, and there should be strict laws against reselling it or giving it to minors. But stop this War on Drugs which is only a War on the Constitution. BTW I agree with you on abortion.

Oh man, this is getting good.

I wish they would stand up and proclaim that abortion and pornography are in the same league

Don't be an idiot. When you are old and cancer has ravaged your body and you're vomiting non-stop from the chemo, get an abortion, view some porn and smoke some pot. See which one gives you some comfort. Or maybe you just enjoy it when people suffer while you're perched atop your high horse. No pun intended.

For example if we had a communist power develop a drug that would make our citizens lazy and unproductive then nobody would argue that we should allow this power to freely distribute this drug in the United States.

There's a difference between allowing a drug to be prescribed, and "freely distributed". The only reason that states that allow medical marijuana have created a separate distribution channel is because federal law makes it impossible to use existing pharmacies to handle it without incurring un-insurable liabilities/criminal penalties. CVS, Rite-Aid, Longs, etc... are not going to want to handle a product that allows the federal government to seize the entire corporation.

I knew stoners in college, and a lot of them were unambitious (not the same as lazy, they actually had to work harder because they often didn't work smarter). I'd take every single one of them as an employee over someone who has to stay on opiates or soma to relieve pain. Those individuals are completely unable to focus their brain on any but the most simple tasks, and often can barely stay awake.

I agree that there will be widespread abuse of medical marijuana until federal law carves out an exception and it starts falling under the same regulations as other schedule II drugs. If one were to embrace least harm principles, Heroin should also be dropped to schedule II, and Methadone bumped up to schedule I.

I think that protecting people with poor impulse control from self-abuse at the expense of the pain and suffering of the ill is sickeningly immoral. I also think that trying to protect those with poor impulse control from self-abuse with legislation is the kind of magical thinking that I normally only associate with the worst liberal policies.

Interesting.

The federal government has no business arresting people for what states declare to be legal, unless it’s something spelled out in the constitution.
