Put your finger on the part of the Constitution granting Congress the authority to tell you what vegetables you're allowed to grow, eat, smoke, or walk around with.

Just a Note:
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Division of Plant Industry (DPI) regulates the planting of cotton in Florida due to boll weevil. These regulations prohibit the noncommercial propagation, planting and growing of any species of Gossypium in Florida except under FDACS special permit (this includes wild cotton). In addition, wild cotton is listed as an endangered plant in Florida and should not be removed from the wild.
