Yup, I belive that if the states want to restict the use of dope and jail dope heads, they have that right.

But wouldn't you agree, -- if a state official, pledged to support the US Constitution, attempts to pass state legislation contrary to that document, why, that would be treason, would it not?
Can States prohibit/restrict the use of guns & jail gun nuts?

James Madison in Federalist No. 45:

"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite."

Todate I have not seen a large movement among the people in that direction.
