If federal anti-marijuana laws fall under the Commerce Clause, I don't see how this bill wouldn't. Whether or not I have health insurance has a much greater effect on interstate commerce than whether or not I grow and smoke something in my basement. Still, the issue is close enough that the Court will probably decide what outcome they want and work backwards from there.
