I would not lump expansive welfare in with illegal drugs, except for the fact that illegal drug use drives a lot of people to get on welfare.
Wickard, as related to the commerce clause? I'm for anything that's against illegal drugs.
You may not, but the WOD does. From the 1984 CSA: "The illegal importation, manufacture, distribution, and possession and improper use of controlled substances have a substantial and detrimental effect on the health and general welfare of the American people."
From LBJ War On Poverty speech, March 16, 1964: "The Congress is charged by the Constitution to 'provide . . . for the general welfare of the United States.' Our present abundance is a measure of its success in fulfilling that duty. Now Congress is being asked to extend that welfare to all our people."
"Today we are asked to declare war on a domestic enemy which threatens the strength of our nation and the welfare of our people"

You have just outed yourself as a New Deal living, breathing constitutionalist. That's Liberal.
