Not only that, I think it's a states' issue anyway. I'd like to see where the Constitution delegates authority to the federal government to allow its "War on Drugs."

Well said. But, I hope you brought your fireproof undies.

Vin Suprynowicz, in his book “Send in the Waco Killers”, noted that before Prohibition was passed, everyone understood and agreed that the prohibition of alcohol would be unconstitutional without a Constitutionall Amendment.

But, after the FDR years of alphabet agencies and regulations, even as Prohibition was being repealed, there was no Constitutional issues raised when Congress passed the drug prohibition laws.
