Listen cowboy, the constitition does not guarantee the right for any of us to use mind altering drugs. Those are NOT the freedoms that people died for. It just isn’t. You and your friends are the ones stretching the document to the breaking point.

Drugs ruin people, who ruin society. They make America weak. They are a tool of our enemies to bring us down, and they are doing just that. And there are many of us that will fight this stupid idea tooth and nail. So, you and your friends better come up with better more articulate arguments, because we are not going to give and sit down and smoke a joint!

Beg to differ. Any powers not specifically enumerated to the Federal Government in the Constitution are reserved to the individual states. Nowhere, and I mean NOWHERE, in that document (the US Constitution), does it mention prohibitions on the hemp plant specifically or intoxicants in general. Off the top of my head, I can name at least one of the Signators on that document who actually grew it.

The 4th Amendment has already been effectively written out of the Constitution by the drug/alcohol warriors. The WOD is a clear-and-present danger to our way of life. It is being used to open unending constitutional breaches. Those breaches have been and will continue to be used in ways other than their original purpose. Ever hear of the Law of Unintended Consequences?

For the record - I don't use recreational drugs. I drink alcohol maybe once a year. Ad hom attacks based on psychological projection won't win anyone to your cause.

How far do you (extremely hypocritical in your personal case) prohibitionists want to take this? How ridiculous has it gotten, already? Corrections is already the number one industry in my state, Colorado. That's right, more money is spent on putting people away in Colorado than on Agriculture or Tourism. Incredible amount resources being thrown down the drain to fulfill the pipe-dreams of statist control freaks.

You're advocating that this should continue, status quo, or that we should be spending even MORE on this farce? We already have more people per capita locked up than the Soviets did under Stalin. Wake up. The gulags have failed. What's left? Death camps?

Nor does it deny any of us that right. So where do we go now?
