Compassion
Well the debate about the correct way to change the dug laws in America is over. Claiming rights and limits on Federal power is useless. A different tack is required.
Compassion.
If as I have claimed in:
Addiction or Self Medication?
Heroin
Genetic Discrimination
Cannabinoids - the Key to many Pains?
Big Mac - heroin attack
and may other articles on the subject that chronic drug use is a symptom of chronic pain/fear then we must do to Congress what we have done in the states. Appeal to the compassion of the public and the legislature.
As Dennis Peron once said: all use is medical use. I think he was correct. Science is beginning to show that this is in fact the case. The anti-prohibitionists need to get with the program.
Rights are tissue paper. Gossamer. Of no practical use.
What we need to do is to change peoples' hearts. Appeal to compassion.
It worked in California and Montana. It can work in Congress. If we push hard enough in that direction.
