OK, I forgot about the Whiskey Rebellion. If pot isn't re-legalized at the federal, & re-legalized SOON, then maybe the time for a 2nd "Rebellion" has come. Call it the "Ganga Rebellion 2017" if the Feds don't back off.

"I think clean food and properly labeled drugs are one of the good things to come from that era."

Regardless or whether laws of that type are good & useful or not, aren't those topics something that Constitution reserves to the STATES? Where does the Constitution give the Feds the authority to write such laws? That same Progressive Era also had the Feds grab millions of acres of State land for parks, forests, seashores, etc...even after promising the States that they wouldn't do such a thing after they joined the Union. Washington, DC can NOT be trusted in anything they do.

our nation's 1st federal drug laws were written back on the early 20th Century.

You think so?

He's right - the law against which the Whiskey Rebellion was an excise tax not a "drug law" in any rational sense of the term.

I admit I'm tired of answering the same old Libertarian talking points over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Yet you never tire of whining about it over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Like your typical Saul Alynski Leftist, DiogenesLamp tries to change the subject, fully ignore it by refusing to answer, or throw an insult in order to embarrass the person asking the question.

Bingo.

And your brain will become more and more dulled as your comment proves. You missed the point of my comment and go off on my needing to learn respect the 9th and 10th Amendmens. You know nothing of my thoughts on those amendments.
