The People have the freedom to legislate against narcotics, says the Tenth Amendment. Where in the Constitution do you see the authorization for Federal involvement in drug policies in State territory?
Doesn't the Tenth Amendment reserve that power to the States?

Doesn't the Tenth Amendment reserve that power to the States? Yes, for such things as possession and use, and well me must. Feds can regulate commerce, though.
I'm not for every bit of our current WOD. I'm for sane prohibition of narcotics. Contrary to what some Libertarians say, there is no "Right to be Stoned," hanging around somewhere.

Depends upon what the phrase "among the states" means. It doesn't say "solely between one state and another." If I talk among people, I talk to any number of them at once, including one.
