I'd ask you to show me the clause in the Constitution giving the Federal Government authority to control substances, but you can't. It isn't there.

So ... what we have, here, is government by usurped power, rather than granted authority. That's a nice way of saying "tyranny".

I hope this little exercise has helped enlighten your mind.

I already did. The Commerce Clause.
