You might want to reread the Consitition. Radar too.
The consititution details a number of different things, including the functioning of our governmental process, and also provides the information regarding the limitations that the govt has with respect to impacting the citizenry.
Just because something is not specifically probited in the constitution doesn't make it legal or allowable.
The Consititution, does not, for example, make any mention of murder ... or drug use. Those are both matters of common law and of the community standard

I know the constitution backwards and forwards. And anything NOT listed in the constitution is a right of the people or a power of the individual states. But since the 14th amendment limited states to onlly what the federal government can do, that means they're rights of the people.
When you murder someone you're breaking their constitutionally protected right to life. So the fed can get involved. But other law enforcement is the domain of the individual states like theft, etc. But drug use is an inalienable right and the states can't legally stop anyone from any activity that harms nobody but the people willingly involved in it. You can't stop people from eating fatty foods, doing drugs, drinking a lot, smoking, or doing any other peaceful activity (no matter how stupid) as long as their actions don't PHYSICALLY harm or endanger another person or their property. I can take all the drugs I want and the government (state or federal) can't say anything about it, but if I try to force someone else to take drugs, I'm harming others and have committed a crime.
I know the constitution better than nearly all people. I consider it to be the most perfect piece of writing ever devised by mankind. I know the constitution better than many supreme court justices who routinely make unconstitutional rulings. And later they try to use these rulings as a precedent for further illegal actions. They attempt to circumvent the constitution, "interpret" the constitution, ignore the constitution, etc. When none of these things is allowed in their job.
