So you think laws outlawing drugs constitute a search? Are you kidding? That's ridiculously absurd. If you don't want to come off like a complete moron (and I find that somewhat doubtful) in future discussions of this I would suggest you go 1 amendment higher.
That’s your moronic interpretation, not mine.
The 4th amendment guarantees the right of “personal security.” Personal security includes a person’s unalienable right to do whatever the fuck they want with WITH THEIR OWN BODY Moron!!!
The 9th amendment was intended to protect certain common law rights, like the right to marry or enter into a contract, that preexisted the constitution.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!!! We hear all the time about the “intentions” of particular amendments and articles. All of that horseshit is purely irrelevant and simply fraudulent tactics used by crooked bastards to attempt perversions of the Constitution. Words say what they say and if they don’t mean something then an explanation must be included to the text excluding particular possible interpretations not intended.
The 9th amendment guarantees the people have every right they choose for themselves and the only possible disclaimer to that would be ”as long as they don’t violate any right of anybody else.”
It's a huge stretch to argue the 5th, 9th or 14th gives one a constitutionally protected right to consume marijuana.
If you are going to argue the drug war is unconstitutional you would be better off to focus on the idea that the constitution gives the Feds no proper power to outlaw drugs. That's a big argument though and would require major changes in commerce clause interpretations that are unlikely. It also leaves states with the power to fight a drug war and the Feds could limit there focus to international and, actual, interstate trade.
Again, this is besides the point that the drug war disproportionately impacts blacks and I see you evaded all of my other points on why whining about the NAACP and other groups is stupid.
OK! So you can explain why you ignored my challenge for you to explain why the federal government in 1919 determined they needed the 18th amendment for the prohibition of alcohol but Richard (tricky Dick) Nixon never even attempted an amendment to prohibit some drugs.
Then when you’ve taken that on you can provide the amendment or article in the Constitution that actually gives the feds the authority to institute a fucking drug war.
As for why the Drug War effects blacks more than other races, that’s arguable and if it has any real merit, it’s likely because more blacks are actually dealing in illegal drugs because there are more black gangs than other races.
