The people of a state do not have the right to outlaw pot?

No. The right to ingest medication is not under state authority. But I note that you refuse to acknowledge that all political power comes from the people.

If you do not have the personal right to kill your neighbor in order to prevent him from smoking pot or take aspirin, then you cannot confer that power onto others.

But, who limits the States power and from where does their power extend?

Sounds to me like the people of the state can do as the please, and pass the laws they please.. within the framework of the constitution.
