It's appropriate to ask whether the criminalization of drugs is an legitimate Constitutional function of the Federal government. In my opinion the answer to that is no.

The fact that some leftists may want to decriminalize drugs on a Federal level does not, repeat not, make the opposite position a Constitutional one.

Since the drug trade is an international war against America involving dozens of nations, it would be pretty hard to deal with it on a purely state by state basis. Nebraska might like Afghan Opium and Cannabis products but them dealing directly with Afghanistan or for Colombian Cocaine supplies would sure complicate things.
