Where are vices Constitutionally protected? I must have missed that part.
The Constitution was not intended to protect our rights, but to limit the power of government. Some thought it necessary to add a list of rights, others were afraid that would make people think the Constitution granted those rights, so they specifically added the amendment that states that we retain all our other rights, including the rights to vice, unless the constitution specifically grants the government the power to regulate those vices.
In my opinion, the government has no right to limit what I do to myself, unless it impacts other people. I've never used illegal drugs, but it bothers me that I can get drunk if I want (I don't drink either), but I can't EVER legally try pot just to see what it is like.
And what REALLY bothers me is that I can't grow pot in my back yard, even if I never smoke it -- and that if I do so, they could take my house away without ever taking me to court. God for whatever reason made this plant, and the government says that I forfeit my property if that plant grows in my yard.
