Don’t want marijuana legalized, but if they keep it in California then they can do it.

Though they don’t have a leg to stand on. The USSC said that wheat grown for your own consumption is interstate commerce, so I assume weed would be too.

No need to assume, check the decision in Gonzalez vs Raich, in which they decided homegrown weed for personal medical use is covered under the interstate commerce clause.

And yes, RKBA Dem, they mean guns too. Specifically, see US vs Stewart, in which the 9th Circuit decided that homegrown machine guns for personal use were not covered and the Supremes told them to go think about it again in light of the Raich case. They did. Covers homegrown machine guns too.
