[Amendment10]

"What part of the Constitution gives the congress authority to regulate ANY drug?"

When commerce is sold across state borders, the Commerce Clause (1.8.3) gives corrupt Congress the constitutional authority to stick its big nose into things.

But maybe the feds wouldn’t have such a deservedly bad reputation if state lawmakers hadn’t ratified the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, foolishly giving up the voices of the state legislatures in Congress by doing so. The states really need to repeal that amendment.

[JRandomFreeper]

Much of the MJ crop doesn't have to be sold across state lines, and isn't. But the feds dig in anyway. They need put back in the constitutional box they came in. Uphold the 10th and get rid of the 17th would be a good start.

And some now disagree that the commerce clause allows what you are saying.

Do you read the Commerce Clause as allowing fedgov to regulate intrastate marijuana policies?

[Blood of Tyrants]

But the commerce clause was never meant to give the federal government so much power.
