Oh, good. I didn’t mean to be overly suspicious, but I’ve actually seen Freepers say that Wickard is the law of the land and we can’t do anything that would run afoul of it.

Those are the statist "FReepers" who get uptight that anyone in the country might be toking on one for an "illegal smile" and want to use that leftist FDR power grab for their own purpose of bogarting those "evil" joints. ANTONIN SCALIA comes to mind. These are the unholy alliances that make these things hard to get rid of and protecting any freedom much harder. Same thing with looking the other way on illegal immigration for cheap labor on the right and votes on the left.

I know. I don’t care much for drugs and wouldn’t particularly care if they were illegal on the merits, but a breach in the wall of liberty is still a breach.

If for some reason there actually need to be restrictions on what a person may ingest or on what substances they may burn and inhale the smoke of, that would be a state issue and none of the feds’ business.

I expect better from Scalia but often don’t get it. He’d probably say I was an anarchist.
