Whether being incarcerated is a substantial denial of Chad Anthony Ray's constitutional right of liberty without compelling reasons for Congress to proscribe marijuana as a dangerous substance, therefore without due process of law in violation of Amendments IV and V of the Constitution of the United States and is unconstitutional?
