   Theorem, you are actually jumping to far into the future, b/c the Supreme   
   Court has not handed down a decision regarding marijuana possession in   
   relation to the commerce clause.  Only the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has   
   rendered a decision supporting your position.  If anybody is interested the   
   case on this issue is:   
           Raich v. Ashcroft, 352 F.3d 1222 (9th Cir. 2003)   
   You can also search the U.S. Supreme Court website for the proceedings   
   currently pending, use No. 03-1454, to find the case.   
   Have fun.  Interesting reading.
