Unless you count the Founding Clause of the DofI, and the 9th, 10th, 19th, and 21st Amendments to the BofR.

AFAIK none of those were invoked in claiming authority for the CSA or the DEA. Both were enacted/authorized under the Commerce Clause.

Article 1 Section 8 - To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes
The commerce clause gives the feds power to regulate commerce between the states. The feds have no lawful power to regulate commerce inside a state.
