Any Conservative who would deny the right of a State to legalize the medical use of drugs is seriously confused. The Federal Government was not given power over health, safety & morals; those fall under the "Police Power," which was never delegated to the Federal Government.

The hypocrisy of certain Republicans, who claim to be Conservative, strict constructionists, but would seek to over-turn local laws on local subjects, is one of the things which seriously undermines our ability to appeal to youthful idealists. "Hypocrisy" is the first line of attack by Leftist Professors on College campuses, who systematically strive to undermine the Conservative principles of students who come from traditionally minded families.

Completed it.

We have enough problems with drugs coming over the Mexican border. You think that when a state allows their production that they won’t make it over the border into other states?

If that doesn’t happen even one time, then it would be a state issue and states’ rights would apply. But once one drug makes it over the border, it becomes an issue for the federal government.
