I feel the same way. I believe in Ayurveda, I went through Chemo with Western Medicine an realized about 6 months after they almost killed me that these guys were just giving me what a pharmaceutical company put on the market with erroneous results. I mean we can all do tests till the answer we want comes about. I do not believe in Santa or Satan, but I do believe in the power to heal. I guess that makes me a Witch and if it were 1825 I would be burned alive by some Good Christians doing Gods work. Funny how Politicians decide what is a religion and how you can practice it. I guess that is why they are in the Middle East too? Telling people how to live... I like Ron Paul for that, he states that the Government does not know how to live or run your life and should not have a right to say how too.freedom of religion should legalize cannabis also, for christians, jesus smoked and basically preached that we should also smoke if we please, and the bible even predicts the prohibition of cannabis..Growing and smoking cannabis in these times he would relate it to defying Caesar.
Very, very interesting. This will be the greatest challenge that this court has faced. With half of the states getting on this bandwagon, if they uphold the prior ruling, "turn out the lights... the party's over, they say that all... good things must end"
Watching it with a very keen eye. Kinda a lot of eggs to put in one basket. Or at least very valuable eggs.Very, very interesting. This will be the greatest challenge that this court has faced.

Wait, so because he grew his own food, and no longer had to purchase wheat from another person, they deemed it illegal and he had to destroy it and pay a fine!?!The decision that this effort seeks to overturn comes from the 1942 case of Wickard v. Filburn. Roscoe Filburn was a wheat farmer who refused to comply with a federal law that regulated how much wheat he could grow. Because he grew twice as much as he was allowed to, he was ordered to destroy the excess crops and pay a fine. Filburn then went to court and claimed that because he was gonna consume all the excess wheat himself, it would have no effect on interstate commerce and was thus beyond the reach of the federal Commerce Power since the Constitution only grants it power to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes.”
When the case reached the Supreme Court, it did so a time when President Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal reforms were putting enormous pressure on the court to expand federal power. As a result, the court ruled that even if an “activity be local and though it may not be regarded as commerce, it may still, whatever its nature, be reached by Congress if it exerts a substantial economic effect on interstate commerce and this irrespective of whether such effect is what might at some earlier time have been defined as ‘direct’ or ‘indirect.’ “ Since the extra wheat could replace other purchases, possibly from other states, it was deemed to have an effect on interstate commerce.
Nope, I cannot tell you that.Wait, so because he grew his own food, and no longer had to purchase wheat from another person, they deemed it illegal and he had to destroy it and pay a fine!?!
They took away his ability to produce food for himself!?! WTF?
Please tell me I understood this wrong.
That's how i read it too. Makes me wonder how much wheat we are talking about though. If you raise enough to make a decent profit on, how could one family consume all that? That's the part i got hung up on. Well, that and the government telling him what hew can or must do on his own land.Wait, so because he grew his own food, and no longer had to purchase wheat from another person, they deemed it illegal and he had to destroy it and pay a fine!?!
