There's no constitutional right to say "The sky is blue today". By your reasoning, it would be perfectly acceptable to imprison people for uttering just those words, or for any other reason, at the whim of the federal government, because it is not listed in the Constitution.
The Constitution lists very few rights. What it does do in great detail is list powers granted to, and limitations placed upon the federal government. In fact, the reverse of what you said is the actual truth - The federal goverment has no right to make the consumption of a particular substance illegal.
You wanna bet? I suggest you read the US Constitution, amendment 1. While you have every right to prevent me saying this or anything else on your property, the government doesn't have a right to prevent me from saying it, essentially anywhere, so there is a constitutional right as such.

Don't be an idiot. Saying "by my reasoning" is an untrue statement, since what I stated was factually correct and involved little if any "reasoning." Besides, your statement is incorrect for the reasons listed above.

BS.
The federal goverment has no right to make the consumption of a particular substance illegal.
The hell it doesn't. Article I, Section 8, Clause 1: "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States;"
