Looks like just another case of we 'investigated' ourselves and there is nothing to see here, folks

I quit smoking, slowed way down on the drinking, but legal or not I'll never embrace marijuana. Why start smoking again. That and if illegal federally then its illegal everywhere, States do not trump federal law.

So far the Feds seem unwilling to push the issue given the number of states that have legalized marijuana. It would bring up that pesky states rights thing the Feds want no part of trying to litigate at this point in time. It would likely be the biggest sh*t storm to hit the Federal government in a long time. Even if you don't think marijuana should be legalized, you should be happy that there is something out there supporting states rights.

You can't push Marijuana issues without remembering Immigration issues. Immigration is not specifically addressed either.

They are missing the clause in the Constitution giving Congress "Power … To define and punish … Offenses against the Law of Nations."

"The law of nations" was the usual 18th-century term for international law. It included standards of conduct among nations. But it also encompassed some rules within national boundaries. A power to "define and punish" an "offense against the law of nations" included protecting foreign ambassadors against interference, protecting safe-conduct passes — and restricting immigration.

"to fully understand the Constitution we have to know some fundamentals of 18th-century law."

"by the law of nations no member of one society has a right to intrude into another"

"Vattel wrote that in "Switzerland and the neighboring countries ... the law of nations ... did not permit a state to receive the subjects of another state into the number of its citizens."

The Constitution does indeed permit immigration caps as part of 'the law of nations'

In fact, many of the founders are on record as specifically assuring the public that Congress would have no jurisdiction over agriculture, manufacturing, land use, or (according to Chief Justice Marshall) "health laws of every description."

Growing marijuana is, of course, a species of agriculture. Processing is manufacturing. The ban on personal consumption is a health regulation. The Constitution places control over all those activities squarely within the state, not the federal, sphere.

Who can control marijuana? The Constitution says it's the states
