b. Gonzalez v. Raich
c. Obergefell v. Ohio

In Gonzalez v. Raich (2005), the Supreme Court ruled that under the Commerce Clause, Congress had the power to criminalize the production and use of homegrown marijuana by Raich even if California law allowed it. The Supreme Court ruled against the local marijuana producer because the federal government has the power to regulate purely intrastate production that is meant for personal consumption if the failure to regulate the non commercial activity could affect interstate commerce.
