Why isn't a violation of our rights when a state prohibits a substance? Because you choose to live in that state. If the majority of that state sees a certain substance as too threatening, then it can outlaw it. Or it can pass the decision down to counties and let each one decide for itself.
You bought your land, knowing that it is bound by the state and county laws. You have no right to violate those laws on your land, because you did not purchase that right with the land. If you don't like the laws, you are free to leave.
HOOT ALERT! -- Aggie claims that states are authorized to violate our constitution, by the bill of rights themselves! -- Wild & weird reasoning tex. - Thanks.

The U.S. Constitution is the 'Law of the Land', and it guarantees that all states shall have a republican form of government. - Art IV, Sec 4.
States were given NO powers to prohibit 'substances', or any other type of property. -- In fact, the 14th specifically says that states cannot deprive persons of life, liberty or property without due process.
-- Prohibitory type law is not due process, it is a taking, - a banning of property before it can be used for 'evil'.
Tex, -- we've went over these elementry constitutional principles many times before. -- When will you begin to realize their truth & wisdom? - You are arguing against your own liberty.
