Abstract
The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that Congress has the authority under the commerce clause to prohibit the medicinal use of homegrown marijuana, even in states, such as California, that have passed statutes permitting such use. In this article, George Annas explains the Court's rationale for its ruling and discusses the implications of the case.Keywords
