While youre at it please cite for me exactly where in Article 2, Section 8 the federal government is granted the specific, enumerated power to regulate what people put in their bodies. It's called THE DEFENSE CLAUSE. As it is apparent from history, that NOT STOPPING DRUGS will destroy a nation, it is within the mandate of DEFENSE OF THE NATION to stop people from putting mind altering substances into their or anyone else's bodies.
It falls under the umbrella of defense against enemies foreign and domestic.

“It’s called THE DEFENSE CLAUSE”
Do you mean to say the power to declare War?

No, it isn’t. And no amount of capital letters will make it so.
Now, I believe you have a move to arrange. Singapore, wasn’t it? Don’t forget to write. Oh and enjoy paying a $60,000 tax on an automobile.
Don’t forget the chewing gum prescription. It’s terribly important.
