“...not the DOJ per se...”

The DOJ are the federal enforcement, investigation, and witnessing part of the government that would have to step in if anything was going to happen concerning the legalities of pill interstate movement. And the POTUS doesn’t have the power, congress does. Wish it were that easy but it would put the POTUS position in a stance of ruler rather than president.

The primary legislative authority to regulate interstate commerce in the United States comes from the Commerce Clause in Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, which grants this power to Congress. Landmark Supreme Court cases, such as Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), have affirmed and expanded the scope of this power, establishing that Congress has broad authority to regulate all aspects of trade, traffic, and transportation between states.

Might find it here.

The DOJ is supposed to serve the POTUS, not act independently of him. Remember the tirade Trump hit Bondi with a bit over a week ago?
