Where is the Amendment to the US Constitution guranteeing my right to crack cocaine?

Kinda betraying your lack of understanding of the Constitution there. 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.

“insure domestic Tranquility”... “promote the general Welfare” ...”provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare” (The Preamble -US Constitition)


You are making things up in order to justify use of drugs.

I do not need to.

Right there in the Preamble. The Constitution documents a Society and a society’s welfare...not the individual crack cocaine user’s welfare at the expense of the society.

Slavery was done away with and abortion will too.
