  •  Interstate Commerce (none / 0)

    The federal law making marijuana illegal depends on the use of the interstate commerce clause in the Constitution.  The argument in favor of medical marijuana is that it's homegrown for personal consumption and therefore isn't interstate commerce.

    •  If it is perscribed (none / 0)

      Then, presumably, unless there is something in the state law about it, you can perscribe it people who are not California citizens.

      If that is the case, given how expansive the interstate commerce clause has been made, that is probably enough to include prescribing marijuana as interstate commerce.
