Best Answer

The Federal government claims that it does have that power, although not everyone agrees. In 1920, an amendment to the Constitution was required to ban the consumption of alcohol; so far, no constitutional amendment banning marijuana has been enacted, meaning that from a strictly CONSTITUTIONAL perspective, the Federal government does NOT have the authority to ban pot.

Of course, the Federal government does a LOT of things that the Constitution does not provide the authority for.

Recently, the Justice Department has stated that they will no longer conduct raids on "medical marijuana" dispensaries that are operated in accordance with STATE laws.

How does a dispensary track the amount of marijuana you buy?

For the dispensary they keep an inventory. They actually have a point of sale system out just for medical marijuana dispensaries. But to tell how much you personally buy they would have to enter you into the p.o.s. system on their "donation" register and ring up the donation and the amount they give you under your profile. I don't think any dispensaries do this.
