Why can the federal government outlaw certain drugs in the USA?

In the USA we have a federal power structure, in which most powers are reserved for the states except for a select few that are granted to the federal government. So when the federal government criminalizes use of certain drugs, why can they do that? Where does the constitution give them the power to do that, or what part implies that they can do that?

The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) is the statute prescribing federal U.S. drug policy under which the manufacture, importation, possession, use and distribution of certain substances is regulated. It was passed by the 91st United States Congress as Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 and signed into law by President Richard Nixon.[1] The Act also served as the national implementing legislation for the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.
