On the issue of pot, the Constitution is absolutely silent. Not so with alcohol — prohibition was repealed.
Therefore, the states are empowered to outlaw pot. But states can’t enforce the border, so they can’t control drug trafficking. Keeping the scourge of drugs out of our country is one of the few things the Feds ought to be doing.
Acknowledging that it’s a good thing that California and Texas don’t field their own armies to defend the borders against drug traffickers and insisting that the Feds continue to defend the border is hardly “trashing the Constitution.”
It required a constitutional amendment to outlaw alcohol in the first place. You want to outlaw drugs at the federal level? Change the constitution.
