I’ve got a better idea: limit the Federal role in dealing with psychoactive substances (or any other material goods for that matter) to the plain meaning of the Commerce Clause, not its expansion in Wickard. Let the Feds ban the importation of whatever and forbid transport across state lines for the purpose of selling if they want, but let the states decide what they want to allow or criminalize within their borders.

This is a Drug War thread. Bringing up the Constitution will get you lynched!

Odd, I thought I was posting on Free Republic, which, according to its statement of purpose, "advocates a return to constitutionally limited government, reserving all government powers not expressly delegated by the constitution to the United States to the States respectively, or the people, emphasizing sovereign state governments, local government, self-government and self-rule, while restricting government powers to only those enumerated in the constitution and maximizing individual rights and liberty as originally envisioned and established by our Founding Fathers and secured and defended by the blood of patriots and statesmen for over two hundred years."

Are there really virtual lynch-mobs hanging about here who are opposed to that purpose? (^_^)

So do you think the Founding Fathers would be proud and approving of this war on drugs?
