"Then surely conservative philosophy will hold that a marijuana plant growing in your garden, not for sale or trade, is not "commerce".

Try selling that facile falsehood to the judge.

Begging the guestion. Gardening for personal use is obviously not 'commerce'.

If a moonshiner tried to claim that the output of his still was for his personal use, United States Marshalls acting under the direction President George Washington and the 1st Congress would seize the operation.

And then a jury would have decided his guilt on TAX evasion. - Not on breaking a 'prohibition' on booze.

Liberals and libertarians refuse to distinquish the right to keep and bear arms from smoking dope.

Not true. - Liberal socialists, - like you roscoe, -- refuse to distinquish that the right to keep and bear arms & the drug 'war' are being fought on the same base 'principle'. that being:

"Most Americans are moving to the idea that drugs and guns are evil and should be prohibited. Encouraging one way of thinking supports the other because the logic of the arguments is the same."

Proyect and other drug pushers trot out that pretense all the time. It's idiotic, it fails.
