The constitution imbues the Federal Government with the power to protect the United States from enemies, foreign and domestic. Drugs fall into that category.

The hell they do. You could say that about tobacco and anything else, too. It's absurd.

I don’t want drugs legalized if we all have to pay for addicts’ treatments. It’s like saying get the government out of marriage-when they get out of divorce, custody, alimony then they can get out of marriage. It’s a nice libertarian argument but we are so far down the rabbit hole of post constitutionalism that starting with drug legalization isn’t the best idea

Tobacco doesn't induce people to rob and steal. Dope does.
