Why Prohibition of Any substance is Unconstitutional

No Governing body has the right to create arbitrary laws that infringe on our constitutional rights. Nowhere in the US Constitution is the power to regulate the morals of the citizens ceded to the Federal government, nor does it reside with the State Governments. All citizens retain the right to regulate their moral compass. That is why the 10th Amendment is a part of the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution.

What does that mean? Well it means that any prohibition or other law attempting to control a persons; morals is unconstitutional. Slavery was unconstitutional; alcohol prohibition was unconstitutional and so is the prohibitions placed upon Hemp and Cannabis. I hate to include the "so called" hard drugs but I have to. If you as a citizen commit a crime, the circumstances of your sobriety or lack thereof is irrelevant! Your sobriety may be taken into account in determining the severity of the penalty should you be convicted of a crime while under the influence. If you don't like Tobacco, don't smoke it. You also have the right not to be deliberately exposed to second-hand smoke. If you do not approve of the use of Alcohol, do not purchase alcohol. If you do not approve of a particular substance then stay away from it and the people that engage in the use of those substances. You also have the right to not be harassed, subjected to lewd and lascivious or abusive behavior by any person or group of persons, whether under the influence of any substance or sober.

If you choose to engage in any activity, you do so knowing that it is your choice to participate. You are still responsible for your actions while engaging in an activity. No one can force you to participate in any activity. That would be infringing upon your rights. The laws of the United States are supposed to make life easier by granting everyone equality. At some point, Legislators got the idea that they could control the people's activities and interests by prohibition.

The 10th Amendment to the US Constitution, a part of the bill of Rights is the least invoked amendment in the Bill of Rights. The Supreme Court rulings have made a mockery of the rights of the citizens by allowing corrupt politicians to sway the rulings of the Supreme court to the point that (in my opinion) the politicians may as well walk up to the bench and drop a fat envelope of cash right there in front of everybody. The same results a twisted version of what the laws are meant to be a way for citizens to interact on a personal and professional basis.

There you have it, Prohibitions enacted by the governments with out the approval of the people are unconstitutional and an infringement of our rights as citizens of a free country. This is of course my opinion and I am by no means a legal expert. I am however a concerned citizen! I do not like the direction our Governing bodies are taking the country. It is time for the Politicians to be taken to task and held accountable for nearly destroying our nation, infringing upon the rights of the citizens in the name of "National security!" I WANT MY RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS RESTORED. Join with me in lobbying our legislators to stop infringing upon our rights!
