Are you saying that states SHOULD have the power to block the importation of items that are generally accepted in other states?   Does that make you a Statist?
One possibility is that you, like many others today, are simply deciding to be 'against' things that people you dislike happen to be 'for'. And vice versa.   I believe that's called "tribalism":  You are expected to adopt the practices and traditions of 'your tribe', and oppose those of people NOT of 'your tribe'.  Regardless of the actual merits.  
This was illustrated well nearly 18 months ago:  As you may recall, about 2/10/2020 I posted an item about the longstanding anti-malaria drug, chloroquine.  (Not quite the same as hydroxychloroquine, but closely related.)  For a about a month, chloroquine was entirely non-controversial.  THEN Trump made a comment about it.   At that point, the TDS-sufferers had to oppose chloroquine with a passion.

Chloroquine might be getting new life as an antiviral treatment for the novel coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and has infected some 25,000 people in more than 25 countries. For decades, the drug was a front-line treatment and prophylactic for malaria....."[end of quote]

Similarly, a few months after that, Zenaan Harkness mention Ivermectin.   I responded with:

The difference is...Trump hasn't yet mentioned "Ivermectin".   But once Trump does mention "Ivermectin" the rules of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) require that every liberal, Democrat, Socialist, Communist, and Progressive instantly decide that Ivermectin is a completely ineffective, yet horribly dangerous poison.
EXCEPT...if Trump says Ivermectin is a terrible and dangerous drug.   THEN TDS sufferers will just love it.
