You might have a point if the federal government passed the Controlled Substances Act in 1970 in response to Oregon's assisted suicide laws.

They didn't. So you don't.

If the citizens of Oregon wish to allow suicide in their state, that's their decision. Just don't use federally controlled substances, that's all.

That sounds like you wish to wield federal power merely to be an annoyance, and to achieve no meaningful end.

The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 had a very socialistic 'meaningful end'..
It tries to establish that Congress can control virtually anything by using it's commerce clause power.

This idea is being rejected, much to the discomfort & annoyance of the paulsens of our nation.
