What I am saying is that Colorado and every other state should have the right to legalize, regulate or prohibit the intrastate manufacture, sale or use of any drug, food or other ingestible substance as the majority of their citizens see fit. If someone in Colorado does not like the laws that Colorado chooses to enact over intrastate commerce, then they are free to go to another state with different laws. When the feds control everything, then that right is lost.

Once again, your ignorance and contempt for the Constitution is on display. Congress is delegated power over money by I.8.5. and I.8.6.

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;

Counterfeiting is one of the crimes mentioned in the Constitution; it is explicitly put under the control of Congress and therefore properly a federal crime — no such power exists for drugs.
