California's medical marijuana possession limits are dropped
« on: January 22, 2010, 07:46:49 AM »
The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the state cannot impose legal limits on the amount of pot that medical marijuana users can grow or possess.

In a ruling certain to exacerbate debate over the governance of medical marijuana in California, the court threw out legislation that limited medical pot users to 8 ounces of dried marijuana and six mature or 12 immature marijuana plants.

The court ruled that the Legislature violated the state constitution when it passed Senate Bill 420 in 2003. The judges found that the plant limits set by the legislation improperly amended the Compassionate Use Act voters passed in 1996 legalizing marijuana for medical use in California.

That ballot measure said that medical pot users and their caregivers can possess any amount of marijuana "reasonably related to the patient's current medical needs."

"These individuals are not subject to any specific limits and do not require a physician's recommendation in order to exceed any such limits," Chief Justice Ron George wrote in the unanimous court decision. "Instead they may possess an amount of medical marijuana reasonably necessary for their ... needs."

The decision means that voters — not the Legislature — would have to approve any statewide limits on medical marijuana possession for those limits to be valid

I can't understand how you would control that situation.  It may as well legalized all together.  You know as well as I do .....that one is a set up for abuse.

The whole thing is a sham. I watched a report about it awhile back. Seems that you can go to lots of doctors with just about any complaint, and walk out with a prescription for pot. It also said there are more weed stores in the L.A. area than Starbucks.

I figured it was just an excuse to legalize.  I expect it more across country.

Anything that is a natural plant, herb grown in US should be legalized.  I don't think the government should have any say or profit from anything that is natural.  I mean what's next,  can't tap maple trees because the sugar is bad for the teeth?  I don't think pot should be commercially produced necessarily but think it should be legal to grow your own for personal consumption.

Does that mean we can start growing poppy in the Appalachians? We thought business was good from reefer, that won't be nothing compared to heroin.

Yeah it does.

 If a person wants drugs,  their going to get them.  I'd rather they grew their own whatever than buy if from god knows where and steal my stuff to pawn at the pawn shop for $20.00 to get it. 

At a very young age we know what works for us and what doesn't and anyone who makes the choice they are going to do a addictive drug they are going to do it.  Peroid.

 They can go to the medicine man and get them a prescription for an addictive drug or they can buy it from the drug cartels or they can grow their own.

Locking people up in jail for drugs is not working.  We are paying trillions of dollars to lock up drug addicts so that when they get out they go back to the same old thing. 

We were having the discussion the other day about money going to the school for this and for that and some of you don't support any more money going into the schools.  What about all the dagone money that goes into housing drug addicts.  I'd much rather support education rather than drug enforcement. 

If drugs were legal it would be more likely that the drug addict would only hurt theirself rather than the rest of us.  That  may sound harsh but it is my opinion that your never going to stop someone from doing what they want to do.  You can spend all the money and man hours you want and you will never stop drug abuse.

You might want to look at what the results of that approach has been in the Netherlands.

What is the answer?  What is the difference in giving pot as medicine compared to narcotics?  The pot is much less damaging.

Let me throw this at you. What are we going to do about drug testing at work? Employers around here have a hard time finding people who can pass a screen, can you imagine what it would be like if legalized?
