The law which says possession of marijuana is punishable, is in direct contraction with the way the constitution has been and must be interpreted for it to be an instrument with any binding power whatsoever.
If you say the constitution and laws bind me not to posses marijuana merely because it has been written down, rather than that it is a violation of a legal right, then you have destroyed the only basis on which the constitution and laws could be binding i.e. consent.
If the "law of the United States" this land of paper and ink is possibly able to bind me, it cannot be in such a way to reduce me to slave, to the arbitrary service and obedience of other men. It is reasonable to assume a man might give power of arbitration to cases and controversies to another as per the language of the constitution, but is not reasonable to assume a man would submit as a slave to the dominion of another man.
It is also a principle of justice and reason, that a contract must never, if it be possible to avoid it, be so construed, as that any one of the parties to it, assuming him to understand his rights, and to be of competent mental capacity to make obligatory contracts, may not reasonably be presumed to have consented to it.
That is we must never interpret a document as obliging the slavery, rape, or murder of a party.
Law factually is paper and ink or writing on paper. That's all it is, the means by which it exists.
And so then when you say land of law, are you saying the land is made of paper and ink? In a way you are correct just as middle-earth is a land of paper and ink.
It is a general principle of reason and justice that writing, ink on paper, cannot bind a man unless he agrees to it.
@WorBlux LOL - you're kidding me right? That is like asking me what a tax is, or what really is a Constitution, when you put your finger on it. A means of communication, through writing - that is what it is - so if you can tout an understanding what a Constitution is, and that people should follow it, then surely you understand what a law is. This is a land of laws - you're just going to have to get used to it and participate in changing them if you don't like them.
@WorBlux Are you actually assigning me homework now? You already know what a law is.....I already know what a law is. If you don't know what a law is, "factually", then there is no hope for you. But if you're looking for great language though to wow your friends with, you can google it and cut/paste it for all to enjoy. .
Thx Dave for liberty in our lifetimes, may you be fortified
