Big decision.
Most people will probably focus on the issue of whether marijuana should be legalized or not, but this was a case that tried dealt with an important issue of federalism. This 6-3 decision upheld the right of the federal government to enforce laws against illegal substances, even if that substance is marijuana being used in a state that has made it legal for medicinal purposes.
People should also realize that the court emphasized that it was up to Congress not the Courts to legalize medical marijuana. You can bet this Republican controlled Congress won't do that, but we might see it happen a few years down the road.
