Being “dangersous” does not enumerate a power to regulate it.

The Enumeration of the power to interdict drugs is under the Defense clause. I know people like to assert authority under the commerce clause, but that is just wrong. Drugs are an existential threat to any nation which tolerates them, and therefore authority is granted under the Defense of the nation clause.

So true, and prescription drugs are the worst, yet they can advertise that crap on TV with reckless abandon.

That's exactly what the USSC does though — look up Raich, it's all about the commerce [and necessary and proper] clause.
