That was one of the "advantages" of the Lochner era of the US Supreme Court. The "rational basis" standard for Congressional/fed action wasn't being rubber stamped by the SCOTUS like they were monkeys on ritalin. The downside was they were too tight and needed laws like anti-child labor laws were unnecessarily held back.

It's none of their fucking business.
If somebody does drugs and commits a real crime then arrest them for that.
Instead we are filling up our jails and ruining people's lives arresting them for drugs because they MIGHT act like the movie "reefer madness" and go berserk.
It's total bullshit if you step back and really look at it. And again...what would the founding fathers think of this? We are practically slaves to the govt.
Even the immigration "problem" that everybody is debating. The govt. has gotten us so conditioned to them being in control of all of us that one of the main arguments against Mexicans illegal immigrants is that they use up all of our "social services" and cost taxpayers money.
I say BULLSHIT. The REAL problem IS the social services! THAT is what costs the taxpayers money and shouldn't exist to begin with. At least not at the levels that our govt. has grown to.
In my opinion, this country was NEVER meant to have such things.
And yet, most people are angry that illegal immigrants might be getting some kind of welfare.
It's the old misdirection used by magicians. People SHOULD be angry that there is welfare for immigrants to have to begin with.
