That would be a clearly stated right in the Constitution. I've word searched drugs, bestiality, and polygamy, and have not found them or their synonyms in the Constitution. So a there is no "right to toke."
Well, you could word search for dozens of words in the Constitution and never find them. That doesn't mean that a right doesn't exist. PLEASE!

Do the words of the Ninth Amendment mean anything to you?
9th Amend...The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

As long as you're not headed down the path of arguing that bestiality and polygamy are protected rights, I think you are now on much firmer ground. I think that the argument against Federal laws regulating intrastate drug trafficking and use are logical and strong. In my estimation it might lead to a requirement to get a specific amendment to allow for the the FDA. Although foreign trafficking is still clearly regulatable in my opinion.
