I heard from someone at the courthouse that Behnke thinks you can cite Kelly. that would mean measure b would be on hold until Supreme court rules on Kelly. 2-3 years it could take them.

"California state law sets the legal possession of medical marijuana at six mature or 12 immature plants and eight ounces of dried marijuana. Mendocino County voters set the same limits in the county last month when they approved Measure B which repealed Measure G."

The "limits" were never "limits" they were to be considered a floor not a ceiling. As per the Wright decision, and the signing letter by the AUTHORS of SB420.

Patients may transport cannabis. The defense may be raised at any point without prejudice. The "default guidelines" set forth in Health & Safety Code § 11362.77(a) were intended “to be the threshold, not the ceiling,” and a defendant who exceeds those guidelines is still entitled to a compassionate use instruction.

Re: Legislative Intent Regarding SB 420 (as amended September 4, 2003)

JOHN --

In order to clarify the Legislature's intent in enacting Senate Bill 420, I respectfully request that this letter be published in the Senate Daily Journal.

Fully recognizing that Proposition 215 cannot be amended by the Legislature, we have resisted all efforts to make the new identification card system created by SB 420 mandatory &endash; and at least two times SB 420 contains specific language declaring our intent that this program is wholly voluntary.

In addition, the guidelines in SB 420 establish permissible amounts that are intended to be the threshold, and not a ceiling.

Furthermore, SB 420 specifically allows localities with higher possession or cultivation amounts to retain them, and other local jurisdictions to establish new guidelines to exceed what has been set forth in this bill. No jurisdiction may establish amounts lower than those set forth in SB 420.

Altogether, we believe that our final version of SB 420 is the very best we could hope to get enacted into law and that it provides (pursuant to the California voters' will in enacting Proposition 215) broad protection to tens of thousands of ill Californians without jeopardizing any ill Californians.

Thank you for allowing us to clarify our legislative intent regarding SB 420.

Sincerely,

JOHN VASCONCELLOS / MARK LENO

Exactly, no limit was set for medical use in the state law, but personal use was not addressed in that law.

Will these damn freaks get over this and just put the voter approved Measure B to law NOW. I am tired as a 6th Generation Ukiahian seeing all this crap about legalizing drugs here and destroying our community. Feds and Homeland Security needs to be alerted about this and investigate the people that are doing this and if any officials are taking any corrputed kickbacks from any drugs..

6th generation Ukiahian, you must be from the old school days of reefer madness.

As for officials taking kickbacks, that's what the lobbyists strive for.

Nervous, Mr. Nugjar? Let me explain in for you. There is no safe or legal number for commercial growers like you. If you are engaged in the commercial cultivation, possession or sales of marijuana you are at risk of law enforcement intervention. Medical cards won't help if there is evidence of commercial intent. Ask the Ft. Bragg grower who got convicted. You and all your dirt bag grower friends should consider renting a house in Arcata.

Airstrikes? Either you are a phony no on B poster trying to creat sympathy for the growers or you are an idiot.

Personal use has never been legal. The only exception is for "medical marijuana." Meausre G was/is a crock and did not/can not change state law.

Nugjar,

Your confusion is hereby relieved with the answer to your problem... and here is the answer; "try decaf!"

And that is the rule of your day.

Good luck,

A garden of any size can be defended as medical in court.
It is the law.
The police can arrest you.
The judge can drop the charges.
The police must then return you property.
All of your property, including medical cannabis, as per the Kha decision.
Do not sell medical cannabis for profit, charge what it COSTS to produce it , plus a fair hourly wage, or salary.
That is 100% legal as long as every one involved is a valid 215 patient.
As to the cop that got a 215 supposedly by lying to the doctor, that is a felony.
Lying to the doctor to get a cannabis recommendation is a felony for anyone, even a cop.

Hey VM, It's cool man, thanks...

Just no serious topic enough what to sink the ol' dictatorial didactic of diction teeth into, and so sometimes I gotta settle for the old (and I mean OLD) pot topics to whet my sharp tongue on... so we have what we have and they still don't GET IT!
