I'm OK with a state legalizing pot if the majority of that state decides to, but I'm not OK with the concept that its a constitutional right.

Well, you unfortuately have a real problem with the 10th amendment, then.

Because, according to the 10th, it IS a state's decision about such. Or should be, until SCOTUS decides that words mean what they wish them to mean.

Reread my post. The 10th Amendment does NOT make smoking pot a right. You can argue that there is no federal case if the pot is grown and consumed within a given state, but the 10th Amendment does not prohibit the states from passing such laws.

I'm always fascinated to hear that the founders, ratifiers, and citizens of the first 200 years were simply ignorant of what the Constitution actually said.
