“Suppose a state decides to legalize marijuana. Do you support its authority to do so under the Tenth Amendment without federal interference?”

Only if the Feds get out of the marijuana regulating business. Then it’s up to the states.

IOW, you're willing to see fedgov trample the original Commerce Clause and Tenth Amendment just so you can have your drug war.

Contempt for the Constitution is not a virtue.

You said a few posts ago, "there’s a good argument that drugs should be regulated by the states, not the Fed," which would seem to mean that the Feds SHOULD get out of the marijuana regulating business. Are you backtracking?
