So you’d want an amendment for each illegal drug? That would be a long constitution.

First off, I don't see why the Government needs to get so involved in people's day-to-day lives at all. But why would it need to be individual Amendments? Prohibition didn't have separate Amendments for bourbon, vodka, beer, scotch, rum, etc, etc; a single one granting FedGov the power to regulate "drugs" would cover all drugs.

But thanks, your response answers my question. There is nothing in the Constitution that allows for this, so you can't respond directly and instead have to make arguments that don't actually answer my question.
