Since the Constitution does not give the Federal government the right POWER to restrict drug usage, then this right POWER is given to the States. Each and every state has laws prohibiting the usage of certain recreational drugs.

Please learn the difference between rights and powers. Only individual human beings possess rights. Groups of people do not have rights. The government is nothing more than a specific group of people.

Your obsession with the word is tasking. He used the word "right" in it's proper context. The word "right" means several things. My company BOUGHT the right to be the sole user of our trademark. We own that right. It is our RIGHT.

Well the next time I want to exercise my 1st amendment rights, I'll make sure the group I'm with assembles as individuals, not as a group. Thanks for the clarification, Johnnie Cochran.
