“Your solution to heroin has already been done by the state...”

Therein lies the problem.

While you’re 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.

Take your time. I’ll wait.

Thanks I will read it. I would also like you to cite the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938.

I think you mean article I section 8? There is no article II section 8

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.
