Observe, as the two rightists circle each other, their natural instincts to overwhelm any opposing thoughts blinding them to the fact that they are the same species. Cannibalism is rare in nature, but when the pack becomes diseased, anything is possible. Who emerges the victor is anyone's guess, only one thing is for sure - it is time for the other beasts of the forest to grab a tree branch and a bag of popcorn, and enjoy the show.

You are having way too much fun with this. A Mutual of Ohmaha moment, if you will. 10 thumbs up.

Where in the Constitution is the government granted the power to criminalize eating mushrooms?

The idea that the framers could foresee and specifically list each exact thing that could or could not be done is beyond stupid.

The ninth amendment covers everything not listed in the bill of rights:

wikipedia said:
The Ninth Amendment (Amendment IX) to the United States Constitution addresses rights, retained by the people, that are not specifically enumerated in the Constitution. It is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment reads:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
​

The amendment was introduced during the drafting of the Bill of Rights when some of the American founders became concerned that future generations might argue that, because a certain right was not listed in the Bill of Rights, it did not exist.

Note that you are part of the "future generation" that they were worried about.

I suppose now you are going to argue that I don't have the right to eat a mushroom, as if we need even more evidence that inside every progressive is a tiny Pol Pot just dying to get out.

I want them to be legal yesterday, but your angle of attack is stupid.

Wtf are you talking about?

I wrote "Where in the Constitution is the government granted the power to criminalize eating mushrooms?"

To which you implied that if some action isn't listed in the bill of rights, then the government may legitimately prohibit it. That's completely wrong, which you would have realized had you taken a moment to recall that alcohol prohibition required an amendment.

but your angle of attack is stupid.

I don't have an "angle of attack". If you need to beg permission from the government to eat a mushroom, then the situation is already beyond hope.

I think it is mycodose, but sure.

I've not heard "mycodose", but that's pretty clever! I like that! :)


(I think "microdosing" is actually an acceptable term, though. "Sub-perceptual" dosing...)
 
do whatever drugs turns you on; but don't expect other people to give a rat's ass what happens to you as a result.
