The politics of this should get interesting....

Rep. Polis (D-CO) introduces bill to allow firearm possession by persons with medicinal marihuana permits. GCA 68 bans firearm possession by persons who are users of marhuana, and ATF has ruled that holding such a permit was sufficient reason to bar a gun sale. The article notes that one State-licensed grower who had shotguns on premises was charged with GCA violations carrying penalties of 80 years, and was actually sentenced to 5 years.

Would SKS please educate me on how it is that the 18th amendment was required to grant the authority to the federal government to ban alcohol yet no equivalent amendment has been required to ban drugs?

Just rhetorical.

The truth is the feds 1) do not have the authority to ban anything and 2) do not have the police power under the Constitution to punish violations of their unconstitutional laws banning drugs.

AND if the monies are taken as taxes, the feds still have to provide just compensation to the taxee for the levying of the tax. Leges posteriores priores abrogant.
