The federal government does not have the right to regulate the growth or non-commercial use of a plant that literally grows like a weed and doesn’t require processing or transport across state lines.

A few years ago, I was trying to grow a traditional medicine garden and couldn’t get poppy seeds. That year, a woman was arrested for selling heirloom poppy seeds. This made me stop and consider marijuana laws as well.

Looks like it was a drive-by anyway. Posted almost 4 hours ago, and hasn’t responded after that.

I guess I have to choose gov oppression with suitcases or gov oppression with guns, I’m choosing the suitcases.

Translation: You want me to work my butt off, and you want to take the money I earn.

If this happens now, the DEA will increase at least threefold.

What would you say to obeying the Tenth Amendment and letting the states decide intrastate drug policies, rather than national prohibition under the Commerce Clause?
