Justice Clarence Thomas' statement on marijuana prohibition

A prohibition on intrastate use or cultivation of marijuana may no longer be necessary or proper to support the Federal Government’s piecemeal approach.

Prior to 1942 the federal government could only regulate things in interstate commerce. Ie people and things crossing over state lines. FDR in all his glory with his threat of court packing led to wickard v filburn (Ohio farmer told he could be regulated by feds even though his produce never left the state, because his product AFFECTED interstate commerce).

180 years of glorious freedom where states had true power. 80 years of federal slavery. Clarence Thomas respects the old ways (Scalia as well). Economic freedom is a hell of a thing. Time to step up
