The 19th amendment was the most damaging law American politicians have ever passed. Even giving nigger men the right to vote wasnt as bad.

Unambiguous. Was a major red pill for me.

I'm inclined to believe the Guardian about Nazi meth. It was newly discovered then, and they would have had little data about its dangers. I advise avoiding meth, beyond anything else.

People will find ways to fuck up their life. Punishment isn't enough of a deterrent. Fix broken homes and bad parenting and that will help out more than police or policy could.

At least you admitted it and I can respect that.

It makes me irrationally annoyed when people do that. Lately, the newer people keep putting the in the v/newsubverses sub. It's worse than 'alot' or 'noone.'

There is nothing in the US Constitution that any vaguely reasonable person could construe to authorize a ban on any substance.

Drug use is stupid. It is also a MUCH closer proxy for FREE SPEECH than Gay marriage will ever be!

For those that don't know EVERY evil done by the federal government hangs on the one lone clause "Regulate Interstate Commerce". Which FDR's Supreme Court lapdogs even expanded to include ANY activity within a single state that could in ANY way possibly EVER have any impact whatsoever (positive or negative) on Interstate Commerce. The specific law was one of FDR's countless unconstitutional edicts this one charging a farmer (in Pennsylvania if I recall correctly) with a federal crime for feeding his pigs grain he grew himself rather than buying the grain from Iowa.

If the federal government suddenly stopped unconstitutional regulation it could immediately shrink 80-95% in size and cost. That would instantly restore the "Golden Age of America" that was the last quarter of the 19th century. Americans don't need MORE help. They need fewer restrictions EVERYTHING else, including "The Drug Problem" will fix itself.

If you want something to become bloated, inefficient, costly and under performing get the government involved.
