CA and new MMJ Limit law

Greetings, I am planning to move to CA, get my MMJ to smoke and grow. Now here is the thought process and appreciate your input.
I was originally going to a county that allowed 99 plants, now with the new limit lifted, wouldnt anywhere in CA be good?...Now Im thinking Costa Mesa

That is a realy good question. 99 plants is only in Humbolt I think.

the limit that was lifted is only to be applied in a court setting.. this means that the city/county/state limits still apply and you will be charged accordingly for growing over the limit... however if you are busted for growing over the limit then you can explain to the jurrors that you need all that weed for your VERY OWN medical benifit... if you grow 99 plants then its hard to convince a jury that u need all that for yourself

Click to expand...

some plants yield 3 OZ's some plants will do a LB. who is to say that you don't need an OZ a day?

The jurrors and prosecutor

Im all for growing as much as you want but just remember the legal ramifications and be smart while growing

There isn't too many county if any would allow such a grow in CA. This would alert your best buddy (The DEA), to rein in on your stash! Under the guildlines from the U.S Attorney General, the agency is now focused on bigger grow 90 plants and above. So you would definitely fit the criteria! Just because of the CA Supreme Court Ruling of banning limitations, you still have proof in a courtroom that those quanities meet your medical marijuana needs. Remember, under federal law, they can override state law on certain statues. Instead of alwayz doing it more and bigger, one should consider less (not too much less) and be more efficient. Example: setup, methods, & etc... Maybe this way, it will help you meet your needs and still not alert unwanted troubles and attentions.

Thanks all for your response and advice

I live in Calif. And its a nice feeling that they lifted the law that you can have no more than 8 ounce dry per card holder. You don't need to go crazy and grow a ton, Its just a bit of relief that when you dry / cure and weigh, You dont freek out cause you have over 8 ounces dry. The old law 6 mature plants can go way over that 8 oz. limit. So lets all take some tokes, hold our glasses up high & celebrate
history is made this week!

TFG: the law wasnt lifted.. read above

Cheers

I think I'm gonna grow 6 monsters this summer, and let this stuff shake out.

Late summer I will move some outside to flower.

Peace -

California Supreme Court rejects medical marijuana limits
Daniel Makosky at 9:46 AM ET

[JURIST] The California Supreme Court [official website] on Thursday unanimously overturned [opinion, PDF; case materials] a 2003 law limiting the amount of marijuana that may be possessed under the state's Medical Marijuana Program (MMP) [materials]. The court ruled that Health and Safety Code § 11362.77 [text], allowing patients to possess no more than eight ounces of dried marijuana, represented an unconstitutional effort by the legislature to alter Proposition 215 [text], a voter-approved initiative, without voters' consent. Because the amendment was not approved through the initiative process, the court found:

[T]he Legislature is powerless to act on its own to amend an initiative statute. Any change in this authority must come in the form of a constitutional revision or amendment to article II, section 10, subdivision (c). Therefore, we are compelled to conclude that section 11362.77 impermissibly amends the [Compassionate Use Act].
​

As adopted, the legislation did not establish specific quantity limits, stating only that patients may possess an amount reasonable for their medical condition.

Earlier this month, New Jersey became the fourteenth US state [JURIST report] to legalize medical marijuana. In November, voters in Maine approved [JURIST report] an expansion of the state's existing medical marijuana laws, making Maine the fifth state to allow dispensaries [ABC News report], following California, Colorado, Rhode Island, and New Mexico. California's Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled in 2008 that the MMP is not in conflict with the Supremacy Clause [JURIST report], and does not violate the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).




So does this mean medical marijuana users could have hella bud now or what lol?

damn i gotta read a whole thread b4 i post!

bullshit..

chp just had to give back 60 pounds to a guy..

now as a caregiver or collective in the state California you can grow what you AND your patients need..

99 per patient .. DEA may fuck with you but state law is not going too..

any cowboy cop that trys to ignore the 215 law going to lose in court and get sued ..

the city and county limits were RULED unconstitutional and un-enforceable.the counties and cities are still min california!!!!

you dont stop being in California just because you drive through ukiah or some other fucked up town ..

they can still shut you down because of zoning laws though..read your local paper..

the anti pot folks are still saying they will bust you and then let the courts sort it out.. let em try.. then they have to pay us 5000 lb for letting our pot mold ..and for all legal fees etc etc etc

go eat adick measure B fuckers ..in youR face...

the DA's are saying the will not to prosecute .. WHY because they will lose and get sued and have to give back all meds and pay all fees..

California is broke and can not afford to lock up potheads..

NO DA is going to prosecute a unconstitutional arrest.. thats what got this issue all the way to the supreme court to start with...

I hate anti pot propaganda ..... you measure B bastards what are you even doing on this site..

WHAT WE AS CALIFORNIANS HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS GETTING EVERY POTHEAD TO VOTE IN THE UPCOMING SHITSTORM OF AN ANTI MARIJUANA MEASURES THEY WILL THROW AT US TO TRY AND REVERSE THE ORIGINAL MEASURE

the federal guys thats another story..

let it grow

PUT DOWN THE BONG GET OUT AND VOTEIN YOUR LOCAL AND STATE ELECTIONS ..TELL YOUR BUD EZ

DR. SKUNK:

Your facts are only partially right. You are right that the limits were ruled unconstuitional but the law still permits that the limits be enforced.. here is an exert from the website that i provide the link for below this article...

If you’re enrolled in California’s medical marijuana ID card program and growing no more than 6 mature or 12 immature plants, and possessing 8 ounces or less of processed marijuana (or higher limits if your county allows), you will not be subject to arrest or prosecution. However, if you exceed these floor guidelines or choose not to obtain a state ID card, you may end up under arrest but you will have an affirmative defense in court, providing an opportunity to avoid prosecution if you can convince a judge or jury that you are a qualified patient and your marijuana was only an amount consistent with your personal medical needs.
