Re: Need help finding a post
Well...I don't want to turn this into a real thread (I prefer it be a record of my stupidity, until the ends of time) but there doesn't need to be an amendment to outlaw said drugs, it seems the states have the right to do that.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't know much, if anything about drug laws. Are they federal laws or state laws? The reason an amendment was needed for prohibition in the 1920's was because Congress had no ability to create a law banning alcohol, they needed to change the constitution to make that law. The states, individually, do have the ability to regulate alcohol sale, according to the 10th amendment. They also have the ability to create drug laws. So, if the drug laws you are talking about are federal, then I agree with you, that shyttt ain't right. But states have the ability to make such laws.
