MCCAFFREY HAS THE GALL TO MEDDLE IN STATE BUSINESS

The gall of an unelected petty tyrant like drug czar Barry McCaffrey
threatening California's elected Attorney General Bill Lockyer with arrest
for attempting to implement the medicinal marijuana act we voted into law
irks me no end.

It brings to mind something that has bothered me for years. Why is it that
when it was decided to outlaw the drug alcohol it took a constitutional
amendment to institute prohibition, but (at least to my reading of the
constitution and the 27 subsequent amendments) it has taken no such thing to
prohibit marijuana or any of the other currently banned drugs?

I believe these prohibitions to be completely unconstitutional. Ergo, any
threats made by the federal government to retaliate against California for
implementing the medicinal marijuana law are also unconstitutional based
directly upon the 10th amendment, and should be met immediately by the
withholding of any and all federal tax monies collected by the state from
the federal government.
