Jefferson and Madison's Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions were called the Principles of '98, state interposition a.k.a. nullification has been the rightful remedy for stopping unconstitutional federal laws, to render them null and void.
If the 3 branches of the federal government are the final arbiters of their their own powers, and the parties to the constitutional compact (the states) have no say in judging those powers then that's where federal tyranny grows.
It doesn't matter if it's weed, guns or anything else.
I have my history, I have evolved. The passion for philosophies that never take hold proved to be a way to get none of what I thought would be good for the world.
I believe I am a very principled human, don't need your stamp of approval that is more about your intolerance for those who just can't see what is good for them according to RayR.
I don't think you're all wrong, far from it. But you think everyone else is all wrong, so following your lead would be fruitless and accomplish none of what you want.
I say this with internal peace so spare the TDS style labeling. You show no plan, just philosophy. Either advocate for and get involved in a revolution (peaceful is an option) as I attempted or stop finger pointing. At least I and others of like mind accomplished changes, even at the expense of being identified as a subversive for a couple of years.
What mountains have you moved that I may have heard about?
