Is there a constitutional right to posses pork? What about vegtables? We should do raids to recover these items as well. Your arguement is ridiculous. Find me the constitutional right for the goverment to pursue any consumable

Actually the 10th Amendment:
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.
There is no Federal right to conduct a drug war because it is not specifically called out in the Constitution. It is done under the "Commerce Clause" and came about after Roosevelt castrated the Supreme Court. Now they are just poodles of Congress and the Executive and serve no legitimate purpose since they abandoned the Constitution.
This does not prevent state from passing laws against cocaine but the Federal Drug War is completely unconstitutional since that power is not enumerated in the Constitution.
Nowadays neither liberals nor conservatives have any respect for the Constitution, but I guarantee that when they right the epithat of this once great country the Drug War will be one of the main reasons we went from freedom to tyranny.

Where in Art 1 Sect 8 does it GIVE the FedGov the power to run a "War on Drugs"? It required an Amendment for them to prohibit alcohol. Taxing authority alone cannot be used as a de facto prohibition as ruled by the SCOTUS in the 1922 Bailey v Drexel case.
A lot of the same police State tactics dreamed up to fight the drug war are being used to go after firearms owners. After all, they both use "Commerce Clause" penumbras and emanations for their "authority".
So yeah.... you missed a LOT apparently.
