What part of "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people" do you not understand?

I understand it perfectly.

What you don't understand is that the vast majority of Americans don't agree with you that dope-smoking, shooting up, etc., are all God-given civil rights that have been enshrined in law.

I'd LOVE to see a show of hands here, as to who are religious--and I mean SERIOUSLY religious, not members of the Church of What's Happening Now.

There are far too many folks who have lost all sight of notions of greater good, and higher authority. A pity, because that's the REAL fundamental basis for our Constitutional rights.

We DON'T have the constitutional right to do evil, period.
