If a Constitutional Amendment was necessary in 1919 to give Congress the power to regulate or ban ONE CHEMICAL, why has NO amendment been necessary to give Congress the power to regulate or ban thousands of other chemicals?

The politicians figured out it was easier to bypass the Constitution and rule by bureaucracy, something they've consistently expanded upon since Prohibition. And you have to admit, if no one has been willing to stop them, why would they stop?
