Reinstatement? Last I checked the ONLY legal recreational drug was alcohol. The rest are prohibited. And alcohol is prohibited to minors (up to 21) in some states.

What do you think the constitution did, remove all laws and restrictions on the citizens of this country?

We ordained a constitution in order to "form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare..."

If you agree to live in the US, your 'unlimited rights' have already been brokered.

Some seem to believe that an herb given by God to man and beast alike at the beginning of time and which has grown freely almost everywhere, including here long before our nation was formed, is permissibly eradicable or controllable by the federal government through powers granted by the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution. It is an impossible task to devise a logical explanation of how the commerce clause can prohibit the personal growth and consumption of an herb gifted by God. In light of the rest of the Constitution any such perceived mandate dissolves and exposes the government as deluded by its grandeur.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness."

Preamble: ...secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity...

Amendment V: nor shall (anyone) be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Amendment IX: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the PEOPLE.

Amendment X: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the PEOPLE.



Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof


Nowhere in the Constitution is it enumerated what one may put into ones body. Therefore, that right is reserved for the states or the people. However,
since God has already specified in the Bible what one may consume, it is, in fact, the People’s God given right.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Betel nut, salvia divinorum, kava kava, kratom, blue lotus, wild dagga, kanna, pituri, valerian, coffee, and tea are still legal in the USA.

Technically DXM is legal for a cough but many use it recreationally too, sort of a grey recreational. Likewise morning glory seeds, Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds, and Peruvian Torch.

Alcohol is not at all the only legal recreational drug.

Just a few years back one could buy Foxy Methoxy, 2CT-2, and AMT online (then they were scheduled).

Would you mind explaining what you mean by that?
