Since the recreational use of drugs tends toward the “pursuit of happiness,” what business does the federal government have in regulating the same?

Oops! Just knocked that ol’ lid off the can of worms again. Sorry. Hey. Maybe I’m not happy unless I can wield power over other people.

I smell trouble.

If a drug is processed and transported across National borders and/or State lines there might be a Federal issue. Otherwise, see post 9, above.

IMO you are caught in the trap of ethno-centrism. i.e. you refuse /or seem incapable of understanding the term used (pursuit of happiness) in the profane and modern sense and ignore its original meaning—oops— just knocked the old lid off that can of worms again—Sorry.
