It's the power "to regulate commerce among the several states". Not "interstate" commerce. Not commerce "between the states". Read your U.S. Constitution before you go off on one of your little snits.

AHEM! Why don't you try picking up dictionary?

From law.com:
interstate commerce
n. commercial trade, business, movement of goods or money, or transportation from one state to another,
regulated by the federal government according to powers spelled out in Article I of the Constitution.

And while your at it, answer the question;
WHERE in the US Constitution is the jurisdiction, power, or authority to tell the people what they can posses or ingest?

And another light-hearted and amusing thread goes down the WOD crapper.

Dictionary? Why pick up the dictionary when I have the U.S. Constitution itself:

"... To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes ..."

"WHERE in the US Constitution is the jurisdiction, power, or authority to tell the people what they can posses or ingest?"

You just posted it:

"interstate commerce (is) commercial trade ... regulated by the federal government..."

To regulate includes to prohibit. Don't you even read what you post?

Actually, from presedence, there isn't any. That's why prohibition required a constitutional amendment, which was later rescinded, taking away that power. Too bad the government doesn't agree, and they're the ones with the big guns and prisons.
