God gives people rights, the constitution gives states rights.

And yes states CAN make bad laws that are allowable under the constitution. However, laws that prevent the legal sale of substances that take away people's ability to reason, to choose to stop using the drugs, to see reality, to recognize their kids as their kids and not a secret agent that they decapitate (actual event), or any other necessary inhibition to function as a responsible human.

No. Only people can have rights. Governments have powers. And no, the Constitution doesn't give states powers. They already had them by the time the Constitution was adopted.

Are you illiterate? I never said otherwise. What I did say is that there are laws that violate justice, regardless of whether or not they happen to be unConstitutional. That isn't that hard to grasp.

However, laws that prevent the legal sale of substances that take away people's ability to reason, to choose to stop using the drugs, to see reality, to recognize their kids as their kids and not a secret agent that they decapitate (actual event), or any other necessary inhibition to function as a responsible human.

I don't think that parses as a coherent English sentence.
