Importation of substances is part of the constitutional powers of the federal government. What is controlled is negotiable.

As for the rest, you’re arguing with the wrong man if you think I support these things. I agree with you here. However, arguing that substances cannot be controlled by the federal government would remove their constitutional powers to tax them and enact tariffs on imported goods. That they have the power to enact tariffs also gives them the authority to inspect anything that comes in.

And substances that never even leave the State they were grown/manufactured in?

I just love watching bigger government RINO’s like you using liberal logic to twist the plain meaning of words to mean something completely different.

And yeah... You are. The Drug War BS has been used to bolster gun control as well in the courts. So while you say you don’t support those other extra-Constitutional agencies... You still support extra-Constitutional government.

If you want a drug prohibition, do it the same way they did it with alcohol. At least then folks like me wouldn’t think you were a hypocrite on top of being stupid.

And for the record, i think it’s dumb to punish drug usage. It’s its own penalty. Cut off their welfare and impose the death penalty as punishment for any crimes committed under the influence. Doesn’t matter is the “drug” in question is beer or meth...
