Today's magical right
On the sale of marijuana-flavored candy:
"People who smoke marijuana smoke for a reaction that they won't get in this candy," said Tony Van Pelt, owner of Chronic Candy, which also sells chocolates and cosmetics. "I think our First Amendment rights, our freedom of choice, are being attacked."
Ah, yes, the First Amendment freedom of choice right. . .
Not that I don't think people have a freedom of choice right, but people's tendency to try to find the particular right in the Bill of Rights (and failing) tends to set the precedent that if you can't find the particular right, then hey, brutal oppressive government intervention is okay, as long as you get your way.
