...declare the Massachusetts marijuana law unconstitutional on grounds that it is "irrational and arbitrary," and that it goes beyond the regulatory power of the state. Oteri also contends that it infringes on the individual's right to privacy and that it violates equal protection of the laws since alcohol, tobacco and other similarly dangerous drugs are not similarly barred.
