That Court case is more about proper restrictions on the Commerce Clause.

It has no effect on state or federal laws regarding illegal drugs. It also reinforces that illegal drugs that are being sold, and not for private use, but for sale and distribution, are properly held in the Commerce Clause.

That supports my argument that legislature are properly and constitutionally correct in legislating some drugs are illegal.

Nonsense. The federal claim for authority to ban drugs rests on the Commerce Clause.

Only interstate sale/distribution.

The federal legislature has Constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce in drugs - not activities that are not interstate or not commerce.
