Erm, those cases were directly about federal jurisdiction over controlled substances within state lines. Quoth Wikipedia:

"Gonzales v. Raich (previously Ashcroft v. Raich), 545 U.S. 1 (2005), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court ruling that under the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, the United States Congress may criminalize the production and use of home-grown cannabis even where states approve its use for medicinal purposes."

Not much need for interpretation there.
