>"But the fact stands it IS AGAINST THE LAW."
I don't think that is true. But many think it is, because they have not studied.
Alexander Hamiltion - "No legislative act contrary to the constitution can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy is greater then his principle, that the servant is above his master, that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves, that men acting by virtue of powers may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid."

A DECISION, I MADE, ALSO.
If the drug laws seem valid, to you? If you act as if they are real? Then you would be found to be in violation of the "First Amendment". But only by those that have an understanding of the meaning behind "The Law".
THE FIRST AMENDMENT: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Now they did a good job. But there is room for improvement. They captured the spirit of the law, but if the word "Congress" was replaced by the word "Governments", better yet, "We The People", would its meaning become clearer? And if the word "Religion", was replaced by the word "Belief"?
The word "Congress" was meant to be symbolic for "We The People", But has since gone astray of its intent. And the word "Religion" once meant ones personal belief. Today the word "Religion" has come to mean "A Gang With No Room For Personal Belief".
Is not the intent: We the people, shall make no law respecting an establishment of belief, or prohibiting the free exercise of that belief;...
It is by each person not being a part to any laws that would deny anyone the free exercise of their beliefs,
that we obtain , and sustain, freedom among us.
The bottom line is; The First Amendment is saying, to convert others to your belief, you must use education, not laws.

Justice Robert Jackson--"The very purpose of the Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections."
"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein."
"Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent, soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard."
"Forcing unity is contrary to the meaning of the Constitution."
--------------------------
"And to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts", this need only happen when a person fails in his responsibility. And history shows, to those that study, that the courts can also fail to uphold them as legal principles, at times. While The First Amendment will always offer freedom to those that seek its meaning, and follow its stored educational guidance.
--------------------------
Justice Hugo Black--"Under our constitutional system, courts stand against any winds that blow, as havens of refuge for those who might otherwise suffer because they are helpless, week, outnumbered, or because they are non-conforming victims of prejudice and public excitement."
--------------------------
"Courts stand against any winds that blow". Again one can see that these judges spent to much time in the court room. In real life, The Legal Principles are the only things that one can surly count on. They are the refuge for those who are the non-conforming victims of PUBLIC EXCITEMENT. For it is the knowing of the meaning, which gives assurance to one's soul, that it is right with the truth. Whereas history shows that the courts are subject to the effects of prejudice and public excitement. When the courts fail, nothing stands between us and WAR. Groups that thrive by way of a system of conformity, and would not have survived in a system based on education, see value in a person that knows not the meaning of The First Amendment. We call this politics. Public Excitement is the tool of the politician, used to mislead the masses, for a while. Whereas education is the tool of the teacher, used for learning, by the individual, forever. The politician points to idols. While the teacher points to the truth.
--------------------
Justice Hugo Black--"Freedom to speak and write about public questions is as important to the life of government as is the heart of the human body. In fact, this privilege is the heart of our government! If that heart be weakened, the result is debilitation; if it be stilled, the result is death."
--------------------
Idols are placed, between you and the truth. In the hope that you won't go out of your way, and see the truth. The drug laws are just new Idols. It is said that if you serve them, they will make your life better. If you attempt to serve them, you become part of a group that has decided not to wait for the fruits of education.
It has become like unto the time of Moses. Many that started along the path, with the Constitution guiding them like the cloud, have made the choice to turn back. They have stilled the heart of our government. They have asked for war, rather then join us in freedom. To live like animals takes less effort then the life of a human being. Less responsibility. Whereas humans must study our history; animals are barely aware of their own. They know not what they do.
We are at war, not over drugs, but over the meaning of The First Amendment. To give up on education, is to give up waiting for what God has to offer. The stage has been set up by ignorance. They have lost the meaning behind, the words that Moses shared.
Must history be repeated, for the many who choose not to study on their own?
In the drug war, which side can the press be seen to have taken? Which side is the real God on?
