That is wrong. Most narcotics cross the southern border of the United States, and THAT alone makes is a federal jurisdiction.

Nope. FedGov doesn't have a constitutional right to make drug laws in the first place, therefore it can never actually be constitutional for something involving them to be "federal jurisdiction."

“Nope. FedGov doesn’t have a constitutional right to make drug laws in the first place, therefore it can never actually be constitutional for something involving them to be ‘federal jurisdiction.’”

The Constitution states:

“The Congress shall have power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and to promote the general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;”

That section allows the feds to tariff, control, and dictate whatever it wants re. international trade. Any product, legal or contraband, originating outside the U.S. can and SHOULD be regulated by the federal government. If a state like Colorado decides for itself what’s allowed at its border, that’s not only bad for other states, it’s also bad for business.

Like it or not, that’s the rules. And it includes illegals. If a state has a problem with it, escalate to the Supreme Court. Not sure what the big mystery is here.
