: Our Declaration of Independence defines Liberty as both creator endowed & unalienable. In addition, Liberty is a Constitutionally enumerated right. If Liberty and martial oppression are mutually exclusive, how can the U.S. Drug War be Constitutional?
Hmmm... The Declaration of Independence borrows heavily from the writings of John Locke, especially his Second Treatise on Government.
Locke argues that while everyone has a God-given set of human rights (among them life), such a right is not absolute. People have no right, according to Locke, to 'destroy themselves.' Drug use, with its debilitating effects, might be counted as
a situation of 'destroying oneself.'
