" Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce."
That's the bit that has my ire. But I see it's supported by precedent going back to 1938 and a guy growing more wheat (for his own family's consumption) than the federal regulation allowed.
I guess I'll just stew in my own juices for now. I don't care if marijuana is de-criminalised for a small or large class of people. I DO care if we fund and hold elections to vote on propositions, make those propositions law (in our jurisdiction) only to be told that some higher power trumps that decision of the people. Makes a mockery of that process.
We gotta change that.
