No good will come from legalizing this stuff.
“No good will come from legalizing this stuff.”
I totally agree. The States should have laws against it. But since they did not delegate to anyone the general ability to regulate conduct wholly within their borders, it’s not a matter for the Federal government to decide one way or the other.
Let the States manage it. 50 different solutions are better than one big Federal monster. Most states will opt for decriminalizing for users, with varying degrees of allowance for home growing and regulated sales. Some states will prohibit it. That fine. When States make mistakes, it will be much easier to change. This is the way almost everything should be done; at the State level.
Now, with respect to abortion, all the Dems oppose state rights and insist on the constutional right to an abortion that doesn’t exist for all States.
The Federal government can still be involved in drug regulation, but it should focus primarily on border interdiction and trafficking of C1 drugs and non-prescribed opioids.
Really? Do you have anyone close to you who has substantial pain? My wife does, and now that “marijuana” is “legal” in California, she can openly buy CBD, one of the constituent chemicals present in marijuana, which is an excellent pain killer that does not have the deleterious side effects of opioids and opiates. There is a lot more to marijuana than toking up and getting high. On a lighter note, our daughter has a young, hiperkinetic Maltese Poodle. She has found that she can "even him out" with marijuana laced doggie treats. They don't let him drive, so it's o.k.
