I am aware of Scalias "logic," and his rejection of it about a year later with Robamacare.

Does anyone have the authority to prevent them from selling their candy? If so, that same body has the authority to decide that marijuana is not allowed. If the Federal government is able to regulate the sale of even a single item, then they have to potential to regulate the sale of EVERY item. If the Fed has that authority, then a state can not legally act against it.
Oh, because a marijuana (or any other) plant grown in one state is virtually inditinguishable from one grown any other state, it was decided that ALL marijuana would be onsidered interstate commerce. Flimsy rational, but that is what the Fed authority is hinged upon.

Medical insurance in MA is indistinguishable from medical insurance in TX, too, but Scalia declared that logic insufficient for a federal insurance mandate as emphatically declared more than sufficient for a federal marijuana ban. The Interstate Commerce Clause and the rest of the Constitution means one thing when that suits Scalia and another completely contradictory thing when THAT suits him. Sounds like his issue is not whether the Constitution requires interpretation (which his written opinions demonstrate he accepts implicitly) but WHOM should perform that interpretation. For my money, the answer is "almost anyone but Scalia."

Part of me pities Scalias decline, because he could once nimbly and convincly argue black is white.

But we must go by his words and his understanding of their meaning, without interpretation.

Do you have a similar problem with "xenophobia?" Because it's exactly the same thing.
