or you can just drive straight and not speed and never worry.

same as i do whenever i drive through cali with a bag of goodies. my med card doesn't work in cali

all the more reason for me to weigh in on this debate...

it effects me even if i pass through your state....which i do...often
i had a bulb burn out on my left tail light halfway there.


i gave a perfectly VALID reason to be driving around with 5 ounces and this is the reply i get?

and you all want to be taken seriously?

good thing I'M only bored.

Voted YES!
A bird in the hand and such.

The 1oz limit is a regulation. Giving something for the dogs(cops) to chew on for a while. The intent of the limit could be to stop dealing, but is more likely a loophole to allow police to fuck with you.

I've told you. No one NEEDS to carry more than an ounce with them if they aren't dealing. I know, you don't accept that answer. But that's too bad. That's the reason, and it is in fact the current law as well. Like it, don't like it, doesn't matter. That's the answer.
that is not a reason, that is your opinion.

we are talking about a state law. i'd like a little more reasoning please.


i'm driving across the state because i am moving. i have 5 ounces of my personal grow with me. i am not a drug dealer.

now what?

like i said...put it in a 5x5 or use your existing med card.

actually, it is a nonsense question. they have no reason to search you for a burned out tail light. even if they smelled pot, they can't say it smells like more than one ounce. thus, no reasonable cause to search.

even if they did search, you could just argue that it was 'reasonably related to personal consumption'. it's not that hard to do if you are moving and thus unable to harvest a new crop for months.

or you could keep it in a 5x5 space, or us eyour existing medical card.

do you want to be taken seriously with your hypothetical objections? because they are pretty easy to shoot down. and i am crunk as fuck.

if it were so clear there would be none of these arguments. it's not that clear
It's unclear only because you say it's not clear. But it is clear. It says:

Possess on the premises where grown the living and harvested plants and results of any harvest and processing of plants lawfully cultivated pursuant to section 11300(a)(ii), for personal consumption.
I don't know how much more clear they can make it than that. If you grow and get more than any ounce, you can keep it on the premises. There really isn't anything to be confused by. I don't know how they can make it any more clear.

maybe if they said it like a foreigner trying to convey his message to someone speaking a different language, and said it real loud and slow....

It's not my opinion. It's the current opinion of the state of California and it's been that way my whole life.

I think you're on to something here. If I didn't speak english, the entire prop 19 would be unclear. Why isn't prop 19 written in Swahili? Maybe it's some kind of sekret plot by Richard Lee to take over the universe.

And right back to personal insults and low-brow mudslinging for the proponents when they can't come up with a response to a reasonable objection to proposed legislation. There is no rational reason for the one ounce limit other than it's association with current Health and Safety Code and ignores the Kelly decision regarding limits.

There is no such thing as a legal 3000 square foot personal medical garden in California. You're not in compliance with the law now, so why would you care if they passed a law limiting your space?
i am in compliance....the sherriff has been to my place and inspected my garden...i keep logs and have 3 scrips...and i should have been more clear...lets say im not a mmp..then me and fam would be held to 5x5 right? and if i am one i have even more concern..and that would be the wording..
"I think it’s quite likely that Proposition 19 will trump California’s medical marijuana laws and allow local municipalities to apply restrictions that, thus far, they have been blocked from implementing by the combination of the Compassionate Use Act and the California Supreme Court".....
"Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it is lawful and shall not be a public offense…to possess, process, share or transport not more than one ounce of cannabis solely for that individual’s personal consumption, and not for sale." "Anyone who doesn’t already know the meaning of “notwithstanding” can see that this is wrong merely by grabbing the nearest dictionary. According to Webster’s Third International Dictionary, Unabridged (2002), for example, the word means “without prevention or obstruction from or by : in spite of.”

"Remembering the meaning of “notwithstanding any other provision of state…law,” this means “in spite of what the medical marijuana laws say, a local government may” potentially adopt restrictive rules as pertains to certain activities. The listed activities are all the activities one needs to carry out in order to obtain, or grow, or consume medical marijuana."
my fear is that along with other things....i as a MMP will have right i already have taken from me..my lawyer said this is very possible and to prepare for it.

agian to all, i am in fact in total compliance....and whatever i have extra i donate most of. bar a lil to keep next yrs garden going...
if i am wrong or if you read something in this thatmy lawyer and i dont plz tell me...i dont want to hinder...i just dont want to get stuck. thank you all for you input. this thread is very good, with good ppl.

so you can't pretend i don't have a med card? you gave no answer. they can and will search your car. no answer again.

fail.

i was asked "when would a person ever need to carry more than an ounce?"

i gave an example and that's the answer i get.


i'm voting NO.

Well then lets be grateful for the kelly decision. It insures that any limit that goes against doctors orders is unconstitutional and therefor doesn't apply. So what's the problem?

They used notwithstanding to apply to any local laws that might be created to interfere with the minimum limits of prop 19. So a county couldn't say the legal limit was one gram.

Next time you talk to your lawyer ask him if the Kelly decision makes it unconstitutional for the limits of prop 19 to be applied to medical patients.

agian to all, i am in fact in total compliance....and whatever i have extra i donate most of. bar a lil to keep next yrs garden going...

I wasn't trying to criticize your personal garden. If I came off that way I apologize. I don't really care how big, small, legal, or illegal anyone's garden is. It's all good to me.

A breakdown of CA county and local medical marijuana guidelines is available here: http://www.safeaccessnow.net/countyguidelines.htm.
Decriminalization: The state has decriminalized marijuana to some degree. Typically, decriminalization means no prison time or criminal record for first-time possession of a small amount for personal consumption. The conduct is treated like a minor traffic violation.

Medical marijuana: This state has medical marijuana laws enacted. Modern research suggests that cannabis is a valuable aid in the treatment of a wide range of clinical applications. These include pain relief, nausea, spasticity, glaucoma, and movement disorders. Marijuana is also a powerful appetite stimulant and emerging research suggests that marijuana's medicinal properties may protect the body against some types of malignant tumors, and are neuroprotective. For more information see NORML's Medical Marijuana section.

Hemp: This state has an active hemp industry or has authorized research. Hemp is a distinct variety of the plant species cannabis sativa L. that contains minimal (less than 1%) amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Various parts of the plant can be utilized in the making of textiles, paper, paints, clothing, plastics, cosmetics, foodstuffs, insulation, animal feed, and other products. For more information see NORML's Industrial Use section.

Also see Federal Laws


this is current CA law as posted directly from the NORML's website and taken from the DEA. keep in mind as said time and again and seems to being ignored by your arguments, porp 19 will in NO WAY effect mmj users in compliance with prop 215b.

lets say for a moment you are not an mmj patient. you are just a regular schmo like myself. that one ounce (of any type/quality/style/smell/taste/potency/etc) is merely an on-hand limitation. now look at the current law. without an mmj card you have 1 ounce... $100 fine a date in court and (though according to this wording not typically, but definately possible) a blemished record to haunt you if youd ever like to go back to school, get a government job, work with children. etc. to us non-mmj 1 ounce attained legally and without fear is a HUGE amount of progress.

if it is still unclear please reword it in a way the rest of us can understand, after so many attempts to answer your question and you saying its all wrong perhaps you should reflect on your question and your motivation. you are hoping to hear something along the lines of "so the government can keep you chained maaan. the maaan just wants to hold you down dude!"? please clarify and continue.

and for instance you have your gorgeous time consuming grows, but you dont have an mmj card...

"The cultivation or processing of any amount of marijuana is punishable by up to sixteen months in state prison. There is an exception to the cultivation prohibition for patients or patients’ caregivers who possess or cultivate for personal use by the patient upon approval of a physician."

this is up to date and concrete. can you still not see our side of it?
