Well, if you believe the commerce clause was intended and understood to mean when adopted that Congress had the power to make "all laws necessary and proper" for the regulation of any activity whatsoever so long as it was directly or indirectly connected to interstate commerce, than I can't help you.

You evidently ignored the section of my essay on the orginal meaning of the commerce clause.

Is there a substantial trade among the states in illicit drugs?

You keep dodging that issue.
