That is a good question.

Let me put it this way. I would be for allowing either the Federal government or the States (ideally the States) to institute their own drug policy under the condition that no federal monies would go to any sort of welfare or medical aid for the abusers and the States would have to implement a torture penalty and use it, along with considering all crimes done by those on such controlled substances as being premeditated.

This way, those who willingly kill or maim others will never again have the opportunity to do so, and the torture for those who don't get capital punishment will help encourage those who continue to take drugs to straighten up.

Your answer was a bit unclear to me on state vs fedgov powers over intrastate marijuana regulation.

Do you think the Constitution delegates such authority to fedgov under the Commerce Clause? Or do you think the states have this authority under the Tenth Amendment?

Are you a former member of the Taliban?
