The court said even a small quantity of grain "supplies a need of the man who grew it which would otherwise be reflected by purchases in the open market. Homegrown wheat in this sense competes with wheat in commerce." That said, clearly Congress's power under the Commerce Clause is vast enough to permit Congress to decide that the use of even homegrown marijuana can affect the interstate market Not so clear. There's no cumulative effect like Filburn - because there is no interstate market in marijuana. Besides, cumulative effects is dead doctrine. These articles are barking up a dead (and irrelevant) tree. Derek

Regarding another recent Supreme Court Commerce Clause case... I wonder when some enterprising Joe will extend the internet wine sales decision to challenge beer sales. I sure could go for a Yuengling bought direct over the internet and shipped from PA... Derek
