the natural right

Four ounces is "the natural right", not three or five? How was that arrived at?

Reading organic tea leaves?

"Reading organic tea leaves?" - Euphemistic evasion?

My question still stands; Why would someone not possess the natural right to stop and smell any flower?

Four ounces is "the natural right", not three or five? How was that arrived at?

Certainly, these limits are seemingly arbitrary. Yet,limits of possession had to be determined where the individual right of privacy is violable if the quantity possessed was not justifiably an individual supply but rather a commercial venture and thereby warranting regulation. The question raised in the article is whether or not an odor warrants the violation of individual's privacy.

No, every finite amount is the natural right ... but allowing four ounces still brings Alaska closer to the truth than allowing none.
