I don’t think the framers of the Declaration of Independence had the drug culture in mind when they wrote that, do you?

No,but they were famailiar with licentious behavior and morals...

What it boils down to is: how many exceptions to liberty do you want to come up with?

if you want to wrap yourself up in bubblewrap and strap on an air filter to leave the house, great!

Sorry, but freedom is messy and you won't always agree with your neighbor or how he lives and what he consumes. Freedom is not being free from things that offend. A lot of tolerance as well as compassion is needed. Force of law does not stop stupid, self damaging, behaviors.

If you want to regulate drugs, pass an Amendment like they did for alcohol. That is what the Founders would have advised.

Don't be a moron. Hemp was widely used for a variety of purposes beyond just smoking and drugs were not an unknown problem.

What is your utter fascination with drugs? All the other issues you so cavalierly toss aside are much more important than some 42 year old dopehead toking up in his mother's basement.
