Pot Criminalization: Up in Smoke?

[HairOfTheDog]

I wouldn't go so far as to say we've got a dictatorship going on, but I do think we have too many conflicts between the states rights under the Constitution and the Fed's intervention.

Please name a freedom that is not regulated at the federal level.

Thanks.

Okay, Dick, off the top of my head, I can't think of any that aren't regulated or banned on some level and don't have time right now to research. But, you know I'll scour around later.

I think I get your point though? It's not the way the founding fathers intended when they established a federal republic and signed off on the Constitution, largely giving states' rights to govern themselves. I'd still argue that the US is a far cry from operating as a dictatorship because we elect (via our state electoral college reps) the President and we enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc...
