1. “Based on [our] analysis of the Ravin decision and the later supreme court decisions construing Ravin, we are convinced that the State's interpretation of Ravin is wrong. : Ravin did not create an affirmative defense that defendants might raise, on a case-by-case basis, when they were prosecuted for possessing marijuana in their home for personal use. Instead, both in the Ravin opinion itself and in the supreme court's later descriptions of Ravin the Alaska Supreme Court has repeatedly and consistently characterized the Ravin decision as announcing a constitutional limitation on the government's authority to enact legislation prohibiting the possession of marijuana in the privacy of one's home.”
