Summary
Examines Supreme Court decision in Gonzales v. Raich, which represented conflict between California State law permitting the medicinal use of marijuana, and the Federal Controlled Substances Act. Discusses Supreme Court reversal of initial Ninth Circuit holding, relying on Wickard v. Filburn, as precedent for concluding that Congress had a rational basis for concluding that leaving home-consumed marijuana outside Federal control would substantially affect conditions in the interstate market.
