  1. Unconstitutional because it's intrastate trade? Guess again: Wickard v. Filburn (1942) In an effort to increase wheat prices during the Great Depression, Congress passed the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, which limited the amount of wheat that individual farmers could grow for sale into the market. By limiting the amount of wheat in the general market, Congress hoped to increase demand and, ultimately, increase prices. Roscoe Filburn, of Ohio, decided to grow more wheat, arguing that he did not plan to sell it, but rather, consume it on his own farm. Claude Wickard, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, brought suit against Filburn, arguing that he could not grow more wheat than the law allowed. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Wickard, explaining that even though Filburn was growing the extra wheat for private consumption, his excess wheat crop would decrease the amount of wheat that he would otherwise be buying off the market. Because wheat was sold across the country, it was a national product, and the Court ruled that Filburn’s actions would affect interstate commerce. So Jeff Sessions can walk right into your living room and snatch that joint right out of your hand.
