Clarence Thomas discussed this in his dissent on Gonzalez vs Raich where homegrown medical marijuana was legally grown in California for personal use, but destroyed without due process, and with disregard to the fifth, ninth, tenth amendments, by the federal government.
In his dissent, Thomas complained that:
