It took a constitutional amendment for the federal government to ban the sale, manufacture, and transportation of a substance. Because that failed, for obvious reasons, instead of trying to abide by their restrictions and make another amendment, the courts have been complicit in allowing the government to bypass their prescribed restrictions and greatly expanded their power by upholding simple laws to control substances. This is why the CSA is unconstitutional. At least in my opinion it is. I know there are many others who will never see it that way because the 'living document' theory is too ingrained in their thinking.

I disagree. I'm nothing more than a high school graduate. Never attended a single day of college. I make decent money in the IT field without ever having taken a class, course, or certification exam for any subject in my field.....but most importantly.....I AM NOT IN PRISON!!!!!!!
so tell me why I should pay extra taxes so that someone who chose to attempt an easy lifestyle of stealing other peoples property can get a college education?
