Unluckily for your increasingly feeble argument, this is not a Tenth Amendment issue.

Yes it is. The expansive Commerce Clause (see Wickard) is what has allowed fedgov to control health care, education, the environment and intrastate marijuana regulation. You are defending the means by which fedgov has virtually become all-powerful at the expense of the states. You should educate yourself a little more on the Constitution.

Clarence Thomas would be a good place to begin =>

Respondents Diane Monson and Angel Raich use marijuana that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market for marijuana. If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything–and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers.

Justice Thomas, dissenting in Raich.
