Medical Marijuana Possession Limits Struck Down in California

By Jacob Goldstein
California’s state Supreme Court threw out a law that limits how much medical marijuana patients can possess. Here’s the court’s ruling, which was filed yesterday.

The ruling is noteworthy in part because California already had some of the most permissive medical marijuana rules in the country; as we noted recently, the backers of New Jersey’s new medical marijuana law were eager to point out that the drug would be more tightly regulated in their state than in California.

The state’s legislature had passed a law that said patients could have up to eight ounces of dried marijuana could grow as many as six mature or 12 immature plants, the Los Angeles Times says.

But the original measure, passed by voters, didn’t include those limits. The LAT says the legal limit will now go back to an earlier, vaguer standard established in a 1997 court decision: an amount “reasonably related to the patient’s current medical needs.”
