The People have the freedom to legislate against narcotics, says the 10th Amendment Actually, the People have the freedom to ingest or refrain from ingesting what they will. The several States have the authority to require that people not become intoxicated (on ANY substance) in public places or to drive or otherwise present a public danger while under the influence of any substance. No more. Churches and families have the authority to preach or rail against use of ANY intoxicant. FedGov has ZERO Constitutional authority in this (or most any OTHER) arena. Sorry, you lose again. How unsurprising.

Yep, those "Rights to... Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of the Perfect High." I shudda remembered that! -- the right to any property ever in existence.
All I gotta say is that if a free-baser burns up his house, he better stay in it, cause there'll be public out in the street watching it burn!
