Congress shall have the power to regulate commerce among the several states but limited to regulating taxes placed on items shipped to other states, taxes on how those items are moved from state to state, and taxes on sales of those items in other states after shipping, but none of these taxes can be prohibitive and no laws shall be made that prohibit possession by any fee citizen in any state. Congress shall no longer have power to regulate commerce with any Indian tribe. Commerce with Indian tribes will now be relegated to the states.
With all the talk nowadays of legalizing marijuana, taxing it, making revenue, and the lack of 'options' for people to bypass congress in making the peoples will, law, I propose that we all submit the above for national ratification.

With this provision... Congress shall have the power to regulate commerce among the several states but limited to regulating taxes placed on items shipped to other states, taxes on how those items are moved from state to state, and taxes on sales of those items in other states after shipping... ...I think you just opened the door to a national sales tax, particularly a tax on sales through the internet.
