Are you willing to trash the Constitution to have the Feds involved in that?

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 Not so with alcohol — prohibition was repealed.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.”
I assume you're claiming that illegal drugs aren't interstate trade and don't cross state boundaries, and thus it's not in the enumerated powers.
Then I'd certainly be willing to pass a constitutional amendment to keep the FED's involved.
