I have a better idea. Let's honor the Tenth Amendment and let states decide policies regarding legalization and regulation within their borders.

What say you to obeying the Constitution?

Ken, you can try to turn this into a Constitutional argument if you like, but it is not unusual for the federal government to codify certain laws so that uniformity well exist across state borders.

If one state legalizes drugs, it an effective legalization for anyone in nearby states. It presents a real problem for states that don’t want to legalize.

This isn’t limited to drugs.
