The California Supreme Court ruled today that the state's limits on how much medical marijuana a patient can possess were unconstitutional.

The law that was originally passed back in 2003 that said patients could only have up to 8 ounces of dried marijuana and grow up to 6 mature or 12 immature plants.

But now medical marijuana users can possess as much as is "reasonably related to the patient's current medical needs."
 
I think this is just CA's way of making it legal... basically. It's SUPER easy to get the medical usage permit.

If we'd just legalize marijuana then tons of people would be released from prison on stupid pot charges.



and THAT is why marijuana should be legalized more than anything. Our jail system is packed to the anal rim with people who have done nothing but possess or try to sell marijuana. We should be focusing more on the rapists, murderers, and the deserving pieces of sh*t who need to be locked up.

Life in prison if you are caught with a certain amount of drugs... 5-10 years for killing someone. You tell me what's f*cked up.

I agree. In CA if you're caught with pot (the illegal amount) 3 times throughout your entire life you get life in prison. Even if your first charge was at 14 and your third was as 40.

It's SUCH BS! Cigs and Beer are BILLIONS of times worse for you... however it's a lot harder to create your own of those than it is weed. So it can't be taxed. And you know how the government loves their taxes.

But, not that we ever do the smart thing, we need to copy Amsterdam's laws. It seems to be doing great for them...
