Up In Smoke

After reading the horrific news that the Supreme Court erroneously sided with big U.S. government policies over the issue of medical marijuana today, I was relieved that one person in the media cared enough to mention the following:

Under the Constitution, Congress may pass laws regulating a state’s economic activity so long as it involves “interstate commerce” that crosses state borders. The California marijuana in question was homegrown, distributed to patients without charge and without crossing state lines.

Hmm… interstate commerce. That damn “conservative” Supreme Court holding the line of true-blue “conservative” values… Wait a second. (This is further evidence that claims of conservatives being for smaller government are outright lies. Slanderous, at that.)

The Supreme Court stated, and surreptitiously encouraged, in its 6-3 decision that the U.S. government make a law legalizing medicinal marijuana.
