No, the government does not have the power or authority to deny inalienable rights based on blatant lies. That sir is a lie that insults intelligence and you of all people know that. You also avoid the fact the founders of our country grew and smoked pot, and further insult intelligence to suggest they created a government that is empowered to outlaw this. A government that mandated farmers grow pot for over 100 years for national security. Don't give me this BS legalizing the drug you consume, alcohol, tobacco, on down the list, while criminalizing all other drugs you disagree with, is equal rights and equal protection under the law. That sir is a frigging insult to intelligence.
