You betcha!

When the Congress oversteps its constitutional authority, the states have the right--or beter yet, the OBLIGATION-- to "JUST SAY NO!", & refuse to help them in their illegal actions.

You're sounding like FDR when you use the excuse that anything that even merely AFFECTS interstate commerce gives the feds ultimate authority to regulate & even prohibit an item. W/ that line of thinking, then EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN should be placed under federal control, because somehow, someway, state lines were crossed when producing or buying a product...or even the items that were used to help produce it.

People growing their own marijuana for their own personal use in no way affects interstate commerce. The STATES have the authority of prohibiting it if the people so desire.

True. - Same principle applies to making your own booze, -- or guns.

Never give an inch.
States have no delegated power to prohibit making & using most anything. -- They can only 'reasonably regulate' most activities, restricted by Constitutional due process.

Read.

Should a state, or states, be allowed to undermine and subvert Congress' constitutional efforts?
