Like I already posted -— Marijuana commerce runs cross national boundaries as well as the American states. It is reasonable for the Feds to regulate and ban it as well as methedrine, crack, etc

At lest 50% of Marijuana comes from Mexico as well as the hard drugs like heroin and cocaine. The Federal Govt definitely has a role here to keep out those poisons.

And I'll say again, you are supporting federal laws based on the New Deal Commerce Clause. Why pretend that you aren't?

If marijuana needs to be prohibited, then do the honorable thing and amend the Constitution, rather than spit on the original Commerce Clause and Tenth Amendment.

Correct. That's because of the enumerated power to regulate commerce with foreign nations. See the difference?

Commerce in virtually everything runs across national and state lines. You've just bought the argument the beltway bureaucrats want you to - that Washington can regulate anything that can conceivably be bought, sold, or traded in interstate commerce. Don't start bitching that they tell you what kind of light bulbs you have to buy.
