Is The High Court High or What?

According to the U.S. Supreme Court, patients that grow their own marijuana without purchasing it, affects the cost of such drugs in other states. Therefore the federal government can prosecute medical marijuana users even though it is legal in their state and they have a prescription because it affects the cost of these drugs being sold illegally in other states.
