If you want to argue on a state's rights level, that's one thing. But it appears Hound is attempting to make the stretch to a US Constitutional level...even though he's loosely quoting from the Declaration of Independence.
On the state level, fine. People in CO now have the right to enjoy a little weed. It's still illegal federally just like some things having to do with gun rights are illegal. I may not like it or agree with it. The "pursuit of happiness" no more gives anyone the "right" to smoke weed in violation of federal law than it gives someone the "right" to engage in pedophilia.
Again, whether you or I like it or not, the law of the land (federally) recognizes that not only are rights not absolute, but the federal gov't has some authority over what goes on in the states. A lot more than I agree with, I might add. But, I'm not in charge and I don't get to make the rules. So I have to live with it or attempt to change it within the system.
