“No help for you there - commerce can exist without those. “

Commerce can exist without a lot of things. If we had no airplanes, we’d still have commerce. If we went to horse and buggy, we’d still have commerce.

However any time you cancel an activity you generally negatively affect commerce.

As for the paraphenalia bought for drug use, yes, there is some commerce there. But

As I said,

the benefits of that are very much exceeded by the negative impact of the drug abuse.

Perhaps you think that a Sunday drive has as much negative impact as smoking crack. Well, you’re wrong.

That was YOUR standard - if you're now backing away from it, feel free.

You don't think anyone gets killed by Sunday drivers?
