"by attempting to ban that which it hasn't the enumerated power to ban."

Under the Commerce Clause, Congress has the power to prohibit the interstate commerce of anything their little hearts desire. It's quite powerful. Then again, it has to be.

Unless you can show me where there's an exception in that clause for drugs. If you can't, our dialog is over.

ROFL!
The old robertpaulsen duck and dodge. Drugs or quilting bees...it makes no difference. If Congress can regulate activity that is neither interstate nor commerce, Congress has usurped the Constitution.

By holding that Congress may regulate activity that is neither interstate nor commerce under the Interstate Commerce Clause, the Court abandons any attempt to enforce the Constitution's limits on federal power."...Justice Clarence Thomas

I take exception to fools using newspeak to define as
interstate commerce what would in a free world be a seed
grown through all generations from the earth through God
as a gift to all. You do not seek dialog, but domination.
I do not bow before your DEAmen gods hiding behind terrible
black masks of mystery on their terror campaign in the USA.

Regardless of whether anyone thinks that the commerce clause
grants congresss the power to prohibit anything their little
hearts desire, they have through generations failed to show
that they actually possess the power to do so. Rather, the
lack of any success coupled with an immense prison population
relegates all action taken by the government to terrorism
against its own citizenry.

The unlawful use of or threatened use of force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives.--FBI definition of terrorism.
