I don’t want marijuana to be federally legalized. I want it to be recognized that the federal government never had any authority to make it illegal in the first place.
Constitution gives fed the right to regulate interstate commerce, so they have the right to regulate pot commerce that crosses state lines. However, Justice Thomas was following the constitution when he said fed had no right to regulate pot within a state. I think it was Gonzales v. Raich in 2005, but Justice Thomas was in the minority unfortunately. Blame Wickard v. Filburn.
