Proof or its just your opinion? I feel it is immoral. If most people also feel it is immoral and it becomes a law. 1 judge can twist the law around any way they feel and BAM most of the citizens who have to live under the law opinion doesn’t count any more.
If you respond, don’t use a civil rights issue with me. Oppressing people because of the color of their skin or gender is immoral. How is getting high moral?

Any and every law that has a moral standing is beginning to fall. What’s the point any more? Really? A judge can come in a rule anything and everything “unconstitutional”

Some laws really are unconstitutional - the federal anti-drug laws being just one example.

Proof or its just your opinion?

Here's the proof: The Tenth Amendment says, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people" - and nowhere in the body of the Constitution is the power delegated to the United States to regulate the intrastate making, distributing, selling, buying, or using of drugs.

I feel it is immoral. If most people also feel it is immoral and it becomes a law.

In our constitutional republic, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any lesser laws that exceed Constitutional authority - such as federal anti-drug laws - are illegitimate.
