I’m just curious if you can think of any other laws that are on the books today that Congress can’t come up with because they aren’t enumerated within the U. S. Constitution.

As you well know, there are literally thousands of them.

The only reason nobody cares, is that they can’t smoke them. So acting as if these laws don’t exist, and that drug policy is something totally different is... well... childish.

It’s not within the enumerated powers of Congress to ban or restrict simple possession of illicit drugs within the borders of a state. Period. (Gonzales v. Raich and its predecessor, Wickard v. Filburn, were wrongly decided.)

Agreed.

Assumes facts not in evidence. Where do you get the idea that nobody cares?

Who's acting like that? You wouldn't be propping up a straw man, would you?

and that drug policy is something totally different is... well... childish.
