So far, you don’t seem to know of any federal statutes or laws that go across state lines unrelated to drugs.

Do you or don’t you?

There is little Constitutional problem with federal statutes or laws that go ACROSS state lines, as the Commerce Clause grants Congress authority over INTERstate commerce. The Constitutional problem with federal statutes or laws relating to activity INSIDE state lines, over which the Constitution gives Congress no broad authority.

Hence the question you've now been asked FIVE times:

Would you tell us which section of the Constitution you believe delegates to Congress the authority to regulate INTRAstate drug policies? (emphasis added)

Nice try, but there are non-commerce related statutes and you still try to cover your ass by only mentioning the laws that you think are covered by the commerce clause.

I have wasted my time giving you chance after chance to admit that the federal government has a myriad of laws on the books that are similar to it’s drug laws, that cross state lines.

You don’t want to address that, because these laws are widely accepted without objection.

The drug laws are generally accepted in the same manner.

Therefore, belching at length about them as if they are a violation when the others aren’t, is just silly.

You don’t like it. I get it. This is an impasse we’re going to continue to have. We both knew it at the beginning of this harangue.
