| Imagine the concept: You and your doctor, rather than the Legislature, deciding how much medicine you need. |
The California Supreme Court has struck down limits on how much medical marijuana patients can possess and cultivate.
Patients and caregivers with a doctor’s recommendation to use marijuana can now possess as much as is “reasonably related to the patient’s current medical needs,” a standard that the court established in a 1997 decision.
The court concluded that the restrictions imposed by the Legislature are an unconstitutional amendment of a 1996 voter-approved initiative.
