And what does that have to do with a F***ing thing? One's form of government does not convey immunity to narcotics. That is a PHYSIOLOGICAL problem, and last time I checked, we are also human just like the Chinese.
Your argument carries an implicit assertion that if the federal government doesn't do it, it can't and won't be done.
Heroin comes from Afghanistan and Cocaine comes from Columbia. Under what authority do you see the states doing anything about this? Who else can deal with foreign drug sources?
That mindset is what's allowed powers properly reserved to the States in the Constitution to be usurped by the federal government and handed over to beltway bureaucrats.
And your mindset is of someone who does not think things through and who doesn't appear to have sufficient information to offer an informed opinion.
So you keep claiming. Here's what the American Society of Addiction Medicine says:
“Genetic factors account for about half of the likelihood that an individual will develop addiction. Environmental factors interact with the person’s biology and affect the extent to which genetic factors exert their influence. Resiliencies the individual acquires (through parenting or later life experiences) can affect the extent to which genetic predispositions lead to the behavioral and other manifestations of addiction. Culture also plays a role in how addiction becomes actualized in persons with biological vulnerabilities to the development of addiction.”
The federal governments authority is at the border. It's well within their Constitutional authority to stop drugs coming in from other countries. The subject of the article is domestic marijuana, and all the available information says the original intent of the Constitution was that this is a State issue.
The abuse of the Commerce Clause that's being used give the federal government control of that is the same abuse that's enabled the EPA, NLRB, HHS, and a host of other agencies.
If the federal government needs that authority, then it needs to be explicitly enumerated and granted by the States as an amendment. That's the deal we were left with, and I don't see why there's so much argument over holding up our end of it.
