I think you have hit on exactly why federal cannabis laws are so f'd, most likely f'd by design. :wtf: Like you said above, this is what we all learned in grade school about how the federal gov't should be run, according to the US Constitution. but with the CSA it is all bassackwards. The executive branch now has the right and responibility of writing drug laws. This just really seems unconstitional to me (if not bizzaro world ) but, we'll probably have to wait another 60 years until they finally acknowledge that.

And yes, it is interesting to watch the history of how cannabis prohibition started. It really does parallel in reverse what we are seeing right now with the Budding of America. (thanx NORML for the graphic) :greenthumb:
