-- If medical marijuana is grown, sold, and used in one state, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, and the Feds. don't have the Constitutional authority to regulate it. --

Justice Scalia said otherwise, in the Raich decision.

And a fellow by the name of Stewart was jailed for possession of an unregistered machine gun that he made himself (I think from scratch), that never left his house. Funny case, that one, as the 9th Circuit said the weapon was not involved in interstate commerce, so he (Stewart) was not afoul of federal law. The US Supreme Court told the 9th Circuit to apply Raich in order to find him guilty.
