Medical Marijuana and gun ownership/possession

[Dave70968]

It didn't take it, necessarily. But that's just how it happened.

Also worth noting that while the amendment itself (notably passed by Congress then ratified by a vast majority of States) had no real teeth to regulate and enforce prohibition; the Volstead Act is what actually put Prohibition into place.

It was generally recognized that Congress had no authority to prohibit alcohol without the Eighteenth Amendment. Yes, it was technically the Volstead Act that did it, but the Eighteenth Amendment was the specific grant of authority allowing Congress to enact the Volstead Act.

Where did Congress get the parallel authority to ban marijuana?

I love gestapo citizens who think they are any better than Nazi's.

Anyone who wants my guns, can come attempt to take them.

You know that I can manufacture an AR from an 80% lower and there is no law that can stop me right? Ever.

Let me show you a machine.

Have fun! The feds can't ban it, only states, and even then. LOL.

It's a CNC.

I guarantee you within a decade I will be printing guns with a stainless steel printer.

Chill man, I didn't write it. Just sharing.

I'm all for less government. Just seems to me that when things are going your way, it's kinda silly to make unnecessary waves.

It's quite possible that in a few months, MJ legality could be passed at the federal level.

Don't try to sell it.

No doubt! Never gonna happen either. That was before I had money and I needed to sell store bought or federally registered firearms I had previously purchased if even then.

Way beyond that now.

By lumping it in as a medical controlled substance and scheduling it that way. I believe it was because intoxicating beverages weren’t necessarily medicines in the sense pharmaceuticals are.


I don’t personally agree with it, but that’s the rationale.

The 1937 act had nothing to do with medical usage, and the drug scheduling came much later.

If you look at the history of marijuana prohibition, there's a strong racial element (race/class elements are common in prohibition--England at one point banned gin because it was the drink of the working class, and they couldn't help themselves, but the upper class drank whiskey and were presumed to be able to manage themselves), as well as economic elements--hemp was a competitor to wood pulp for making paper (a superior option, in fact), and William Randolph Hearst had huge timber holdings.

The Progressive Era saw a lot of improper expansion of federal power, and the Supreme Court let FDR get away with it when he threatened to add more justices to the Court ("court packing") to water down the power of the then-sitting justices. Wickard was probably the worst thing that could have come out of the Progressive-Era Court as far as expanding the reach of fed.gov, and continues to be cited today for all sorts of purposes, including marijuana prohibition (Raich).

Choices have consequences...

Exactly, we're all adults and have to make choices everyday.

why not?

selling a homebuild is perfectly legal, as long as that wasn't your intention when you built it.
