glad that you noticed that. ex-libertarian here.
as for this specific issue, we can really only speculate. does "regulate" mean "ban?" probably not. does that matter? not really. look at the Fourth Amendment. it specifically prohibits pretty much the entire domestic side of the WoT, but the "patriot" act is still going strong ~fifteen years later, and the NSA records most electronic activity without a warrant. so basically, the part of the drug war that bars private production for personal use is unconstitutional, but no court is going to decide a case that way.
Sad to say that the judiciary is pretty much as corrupted as the branch that passes poor law and the branch that enforces poor law.
