They do not have the power except as that they take. When Prohibition went 
into effect it required a Constitutional Amendment to prohibit its use. Now 
the gov't just passes laws and the sheep in this country usually bow down and 
tout the gov't party line.

I would use the same analogy as home brewed beer or home made wine. While 
alcohol is taxed there is a provision for home brewing and use up to a 
certain amount.
The same should be done Federally for mj. (Growing a couple acres for 
personal use might be streching it but a home "victory" garden wouldn't.)
