A Micronesian court asks whether national jurisdiction reaches locally grown cannabis

In FSM v. Ehsa, 24 FSM R. 151, the Supreme Court excludes marijuana found in a bag outside the justified firearms search, but finds probable cause concerning approximately seven plants. It requests briefing on national subject-matter jurisdiction over locally grown cannabis. The order leaves that question open; it is neither a general cannabis acquittal nor a final nationwide sentencing rule.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Micronesia here.
