Don't insult me.. you know better than this.
We are all protected by the Constitution. (more specifically, the BOR) And that Constitution mentions the right of the states to outlaw pot exactly nowhere.
How so? Your illogical argument is that unless the constitution says so, in so many words, the State may in fact infringe upon your rights.
Have you ever read the 9th amendment? It is in fact a part of the bill of rights.
