"The marijuana trade affects interstate commerce, just like the health insurance trade.
That’s why Congress has the power to regulate both."

Congress DID regulate it!
Because it destroys health, and destroys everything in commerce, it's ILLEGAL!

Exactly. But please, no whining when the SC upholds Obamacare’s insurance mandate.

Enjoy Obamacare. You asked for it...

Both Silberman and Sutton cited Scalia's opinion in 2005 upholding strict federal regulation of marijuana in the case of Angel Raich, a Californian who used home-grown marijuana to relieve her pain. "If Congress could regulate Angel Raich when she grew marijuana on her property for self-consumption," Sutton wrote, "it is difficult to say Congress may not regulate the 50 million Americans who self-finance their medical care."

How does marihuana “destroy everything in commerce”?
Alcohol and tobacco also “destroy health”. Should those be outlawed? If you are true to your nannystatism beliefs you will believe with the prohibitionists of the 20s.

Well, then, let's mandate health insurance, since not having such destroys health!

Rather slippery slope you are walking. Oh, and BTW, I don't smoke pot. But alcohol has a long destructive history in my family, and I don't call for it to be illegal, just when it is abused in a manner that can hurt others, such as DUI and domestic violence.

In my experience pot is overall a less destructive drug than alcohol.
