If Congress needed a Constitutional Amendment to ban the manufacture, sale, or transportation of  alcohol, why was no Amendment needed to ban drugs?

They are both intoxicating substances and both have been considered detrimental to society.

The idea that government has the right to tell citizens what the may or may not ingest is ridiculous. The answer is simple: fewer citizens know and understand our Constitution - especially politicians - than ever before. Those who passed the drug laws where either ignorant of the Constitution or simply decided they would circumvent it and the people would be too dumb to know the difference or would support it anyway because of the perception that drugs are evil.

But what happens when the majority think that guns are evil, or religion is evil, or capitalism is evil, or ownership of private property does not promote the common good? You end up being tyrannizedby the majority - you end up with a democracy - which we surely were never intended to be. Eventually you end up with socialist society, which we are well on our way to becoming.

I don't use "illegal" drugs and I don't want my children to use them either. But I am pretty sure I don't need the government to make that decision for me. I am also pretty sure they don't have the Constitutional authority to do so. But they do have the men and the weapons to kick down your door and imprison you should you decide to disagree and they catch wind of it. The unintended consequence?  A black market that has turned our city streets into combat zones - just like they were during prohibition.

Since prohibition was repealed, why has no one ever challenged the Constitutionality of the War on Drugs?

Additionally, after thorough investigation, I am yet to find anything in the Constitution that gives Congress the right to start writing billion dollar checks to bail out failing businesses. But thanks to the press and the publicly funded indoctrination camps run by the liberal NEA, the masses have become ignorant of these blatant affronts to our Constitution.

It seems pretty black and white to me.

But then again, so do the phrases, "shall not be infringed" and “Congress shall make no law…”. I guess when you get enough lawyers together, however, it is not long before they are debating what the meaning of "is" is.
