I don't see the license to use drugs as an "inalienable right" that is (or should be) protected. Do you really believe that you would have been praised a champion of freedom if you had lit up, shot up or snorted up in the days when Madison, Jefferson, and Franklin walked the earth?

LOL!
Those were "inalienable" rights when Madison, Jefferson and Franklin walked the earth.

If they're inalienable, they're God-given and can't be taken away.

If the right to do drugs is an inalienable right, like life or liberty, would you deny that right to 12-year-olds? You wouldn't deny the right to life or liberty to 12-year-olds, correct?

Hmmmmm. Maybe the right to do drugs isn't an inalienable right after all. Maybe it's merely a natural right which may or may be defined and protected by society (government).
