Like it or not, the Feds use commerce and taxation to regulate firearms and drugs. So far, it's constitutional.
Just because SCOTUS has tortured those concepts beyond recognition doesn’t mean it’s right. If more people stood up to that kind of crap it could be curtailed. Instead, folks have no problem with the feds banning stuff they don’t like.
>> The feds have no Constitutional authority for a pot ban. That should be up to the states.

Which is why I’d propose the following amendment:
Commerce Clause Amendment
Section I
The federal government shall directly subsidize no product or industry whatsoever, saving the promotion the progress of Science and useful Arts.
Section II
The federal government shall never prescribe nor proscribe what the Several States teach. Neither the federal government nor the several states shall ever deny the right of parents to teach and instruct their children as they see fit.
Section III
The congress may impose tariffs, excise taxes, and customs duties on anything imported or exported, provided that they are applied uniformly and in no manner restrict, subvert, or circumvent the second amendment.
Section IV
No law may impose prohibitions of any sort on the commerce between the several states due to the item itself.
