You're a twit!
Do you deny that we have less freedom than the Founders intended?
Having less freedom than we should is not the same as being the Taliban. No one thinks that, and except for people like you who have to use straw men, no one says it.
Don't you people ever get tired of this stupid charade? I understand that addictions seem like the most important things in our lives while we're addicted. Heck, they're even important enough for some of us to try to use the current crisis to score political points. But to those of us who are not addicted, it just sounds ... well, lame.
If I were writing about drugs I actually use, it would be things like vodka, Jager, ect. I've made more mention of the drinking age in past columns than I have drugs.
There is no 'right to get loaded' and there never was. Sorry.
But there is a right to "private property", including intoxicants.
It is not necessary to determine what rights exist in order to determine what power was granted to the federal government in our Constitution. It is not unreasonable, IMO, to take the position that "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" covers every activity which the Constitution does not give the federal government the authority to forbid.
The purpose of the Constitution was to grant to the federal government authority over the states and their citizens which the representatives of 13 states would unanimously accept -- the lowest common denominator of willingness to grant power to outside authority. That's what the ratifiers intended that it be, and understood that it was.
