How could they use the commerce clause if no trade is allowed outside of the state?

It's what the DEA used to justify raiding medipot clinics in California, which were operating legally under state law. FYI - the first such raid occurred in October 2001 -- six weeks after 9/11 -- when one would think that the feds had better things to do.

FYI: the New Deal-era interpretation of the Interstate Commerce Clause is based on the potential for interstate commerce, not the actual commerce itself. Unfortunately, this perverted interpretation has been upheld by SCOTUS again and again -- it will take legislation to undo it -- and it's a safe bet that pigs will fly before Congress would pass any such legislation.
