California Supreme Court Strikes Limits for Medical Marijuana Patients
San Francisco, CA — The California Supreme Court issued a unanimous published decision in People v. Kelly, striking down what it considered unconstitutional legislative limits on how much medical marijuana patients can possess and cultivate.
The decision also affirms protection from arrest and prosecution for patients who both possess a state-issued identification card and comply with state or local personal use guidelines.
”The California Supreme Court did the right thing by abolishing limits on medical marijuana possession and cultivation,” said Joe Elford, Chief Counsel with Americans for Safe Access, the country’s largest medical marijuana advocacy group. “At the same time, the Court may have left too much discretion to law enforcement in deciding what are reasonable amounts of medicine for patients to possess and cultivate.”
