Well, it was a questionable decision, no doubt. But drugs are something people SELL, and even if someone isn’t selling his own pet plants, it effects the market in drugs.
Gubbermint-mandated health insurance isn’t something anyone is selling. It’s something the Gubbermint wants to force you to buy.
So, I’m still hopeful on this.
“But drugs are something people SELL, and even if someone isn’t selling his own pet plants, it effects the market in drugs.”
Maybe... but that market is not something that is legally regulated, it’s a black market. So, it’s not really sensible that the Justices were worried that a pot grower was negatively affecting the price of goods for legitimate pot dealers :)
That argument is almost like saying... you can’t have sex with your wife because that would negatively affect the prices in the prostitution market.
