what i mean is that, in order to assert our rights, we must have a written law -rules that govern us, and protect us and that's our guard against violations- our basis, where all our rights have laid out into text or form- and the state is the embodiment of these written rules while the government is the instrument to execute these rules .
i agree on your statement that we should gain the right to control what we possess and consume. i also agree that when canabis becomes legalized, it should have no string attached such as "sin" tax. "sin" tax will never stop people from using it, make the price higher so that the government can gain more.
On the other side of the coin. we need a government. a state. in order to say that you are sovereign. Don't invalidate the purpose of the constitution, it's the framework, a fundamental and supreme law, in which no one shall deter. you should better revise or amend it to suite your needs.
I can also see that the right to control what to possess and to consume have some drawbacks. for example, what if you grant all the citizens with ownership of guns? it will cause unrest and insecurity right?
