Are not treaties the Supreme laws of the United States and are not the States obligated to conform to them?

Or is the Supremacy clause just an empty letter?

Where in the Constitution is there a constitutional right to traffic in the marijuana trade?

“Are not treaties the Supreme laws of the United States and are not the States obligated to conform to them?”

Treaties that do not conflict with all of the Constitution are indeed legal. Unconstitutional treaties are not.

“Or is the Supremacy clause just an empty letter?” Only in the mind of progressives & globalists. You cannot enforce some of the Constitution & not all of it though. Try again.

“Where in the Constitution is there a constitutional right to traffic in the marijuana trade?”

In the same place where there’s a right to traffic in alcohol & tobacco. You remember them, I hope. Just 2 of the deadliest substances on the planet that cost our nation billions of dollars every year.

Right there in the 10th Amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
