“Did you read my response #92 per chance?”

Yes, I did.

My response:
Using the Bible to discuss and support your arguments is folly because 1) not everyone is Christian and 2) the Bible is not a controlling legal document in the United States. Obey it to your heart’s content but it has no legal standing in a discussion about the laws of the land.

You then said:
“So no, you can’t put into your body whatever you want in America simply for freedom’s sake. Here’s a crazy example: Should anyone have the right to overdose on radioactive material in the privacy of their own home......especially if they haven’t told the person who finds them dead and highly radiactive?”

How will you stop them and what punishment will you suggest be delivered to the corpse?

Let us suppose for a moment that I am as high as a Kite right now, in the privacy of my own home. I am smoking the buds of an intoxicating weed that I grew on my own property for my own, personal use.

Is it your business? No.
Is it the federal government’s business? No.
Am I harming anyone else? No.

Good. Then leave me alone.

If I attempt to sell this product to anyone, make it available to minors, or cause harm to anyne through its use (such as a DUI) or endanger a child through neglect or some such thing then I should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and be left to rot in jail.

If none of those harmful and illegal conditions occur then it is no one’s business, especially the federal government’s.
