Wasn't it in the Federalist Papers?
I'm a conservative, and I think the government should stay out of my wallet, out of my bedroom, out of my body, and out of my life. The Federal government was created by the States, not the other way around. Which part of the Constitution says the Feds. can regulate what you can put in your body? Drug laws were actually legislated under the auspices of the Interstate Commerce Clause. I don't happen to do drugs (any more), but if someone wants to sit in their living room and have a beer and a joint, I don't see how its anyone else's business.
I think it made it to the U.S. Constitution after being debated in the Federalist Papers.
