Question! What was the Raich v Gonzales case about?

It was about whether or not the War on Drugs prohibited the usage of marijuana that had never traveled across state lines, nor even been in commerce — roughly the equivalent of asking if the commerce clause allowed the prohibition of some substance even if it was never involved in commerce. The court said that it could, thereby stating that the commerce clause covered not-commerce.
