The rationale doesn't make growing your own drugs and using them or selling them to people in your state an example of interstate commerce. Sure it does. You don't know that your fungible product is confined to a state. If some of a fungible product is interstate, all of it is. I don't just find that statement to be incorrect I find it to be almost silly. If I sell you some pencils that where made in VA I am not engaging in interstate commerce despite the fact that pencils are fairly fungible (as much as marijuana, yes pencils can be different colors and hardness but there are differences in marijuana as well). Sales within a state may effect supply and demand across states, so intra state commerce may effect inter state commerce, but it isn't itself interstate commerce. The feds are granted to the power to deal with anything that effects interstate commerce but rather just specifically interstate commerce itself. If they were granted the power to regulate anything that can effect interstate commerce than there would be nearly no limit to their power because just about anything can effect interstate commerce in one way or another.
