Do you agree that a Constitutional amendment is required to give the federal government legitimate authority to ban drugs other than alcohol? (My answers are yes and yes.)

No. Drugs are an existential threat to the existence of government and are therefore expressly covered under the defense clause of the US Constitution.

It is no different in effect than that of someone importing biological weapons to use against us. Actually biological weapons are probably not as deadly to our system of governance as are drugs.

China legalized drugs. Drugs Destroyed the nation of China. Legalized drugs are an existential threat to any government which tolerates them.

So all government needs to do to ban Z is declare it "an existential threat to the existence of government"? Have you considered what a Democratic/RINO Congress might do with such authority?
