9th Amendment means we have the right. Government (at least the Feds) have no rights here.
Oh no it doesn't. You do not have a right to cause harm to society, or be a burden to society, disrupt society, and everyone else right to live in a safe, free society. You have a very loose interpretation of the 9th amendment, and ignore the rest of the constitution which is an embodiment of law and order in which society lives as free as possible within them.
Who’s says conservatives aren’t nanny staters? The WoD has done nothing but give us a militarized police, no-knock entries, dead innocents, millions of ruined lives and billions in prisons. And it’s not like any of it works to reduce drug use or demand. Our 4th amendment rights are in tatters. This is like prohibition and its time it ended.

The 9th Amendment guarantees that no rights reserved by citizens will be taken away simply to protect the rights specified in the Constitution. Is drug use a right? What right is being protected by its prohibition? Surely none specified in the Constitution that I can see. This seems to be out of scope of the 9th Amendment, although in its spirit.
