I mean, per [1] Wickard v. Filburn (1934), growing wheat on your own farm to feed to your own animals is interstate commerce. And by that logic, any intrastate stuff done would be considered interstate commerce if it could affect the market outside the state - for example in Gonzales v. Raich (2005) the supreme court ruled that growing your own marijuana for your own personal medical use could be criminalized on the federal level using similar logic
> The parallel concern making it appropriate to include marijuana grown for home consumption in the CSA is the likelihood that the high demand in the interstate market will draw such marijuana into that market.
