Raich case, the Supreme Court, Justice http://web2.westlaw.com/find/default.wl?DB=WLD%2DPEOPLECITE&DocName…; target="_top">Stevens, held that application of CSA provisions criminalizing manufacture, distribution, or possession of marijuana to intrastate growers and users of marijuana for medical purposes did not violate Commerce Clause.
