Our society has drawn it at alcohol.

Some states have drawn the line at pot. Does a line that 'society' has drawn trump the 10th Amendment?

The 10th Amendment gives power to decide on such issues to state and local governing bodies. A town council has every right to ban narcotics in their locality if they so desire. That's what the 10th Amendment means. Local self rule. Neither the state nor the Feds should attempt to usurp that role.
