I don’t support legalizing all drugs, but what language in the Constitution authorizes the federal government to prosecute individuals for drug use?

Isn’t drug use a matter reserved to the states?

Commerce Clause is used used to regulate everything you buy or don’t buy, everything you do or don’t do. It forms the basis for a vast array of environmental regulations, drug regulations, food regulations etc. They even regulate the carbon dioxide you breathe or don’t breathe with the ever present and all powerful Commerce Clause.
