Which is a big difference from the 2nd Amendment, which is an enumerated right.

There is no right to smoke cannabis, it can be regulated by the local authorities, just like some regulate alcohol, etc. That’s at least what the 21st said, last I checked.

Some people believe that men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights and that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Other people believe that rights are granted by the state. People in this latter category argue that the 2nd Amendment creates the right to bear arms and the 21st Amendment proves that rights exist only when the state grants them.
