The constitution is a restriction on government power.

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. "

No where in the Constitution are rights granted to the people to do things which harm others. Taking drugs harms people other than the druggie. And you know it.
