aw man thats sad to hear, i see this all to much perscription drugs = early death. my coworker is hopelessly addicted to lithium he has to do it till the day it kills him. Thank the lord for cannabis.

I too suffer from crohn's disease and while i do use some traditional western medicine to treat my disease, i have found that for relief of the worst abdominal cramping and resulting appatite loss marijuana is the only thing that works. Its sad you family member suffered for so long on steroids, i am just coming off a two month round so my heaty goes out to you and him. I hope he is doing better now.

Like i always say jsut come to the Bay Area you will not be dissapointed. Hundreds of clubs in the bay area as well.

This might help give you an idea how tollorant the different counties are:

HOW MUCH CAN I POSSESS OR GROW?
SB420 establishes a baseline statewide limit per patient of 6 mature or 12 immature plants, and 1/2 pound (8 oz.) processed cannabis. Patients can be exempted from these limits if their physician specifically states that they need more. In addition, individual cities and counties are allowed to enact higher, but not lower, limits than the state standard. Local limits are posted at: http://canorml.org/prop/local215policies.html.

Here are the limits per county:

Arcata

City Council passed an ordinance 11/08 allowing no more than 50 square feet for cultivation. In addition, dispensaries will be prohibited from using more than 25% of their property for cultivation when the ordinance takes effect December 19. The council may revisit the issue during the land use code revision process in six months.Those with special needs may request more grow space. The new standards apply only to areas of Arcata outside the Coastal Zone, which rings Humboldt Bay. A separate but identical ordinance covers those areas, but will not go into effect until approved by the Coastal Commission, which will take at least a year and probably longer.
Berkeley

• Ordinance allows 10 plants and 2.5 lbs per patient, or up to 50 plants, 12.5 lbs for collectives.

Butte Co.

• County guidelines : 6 mature or 12 immature plants, 1 pound processed material. Official Butte County policy regarding caregivers, collectives, and coops.

Calaveras Co.

• In 2006 Calaveras dropped their pre-SB420 2 lb. guideline to 8 oz, and 6 mature/12 immature plants per patient.

Del Norte Co.

• County adopted Sonoma cultivation guidelines with maximum 100 square feet cultivation area and 99 plants or fewer; one pound possession limit (approved by Board of Supervisors 4/22/02). However, as of August 8, 2008 those limits were thrown out, per People v. Kelly and a BOS action that began with the intent of reverting to state default guidelines.

El Dorado Co.

• Sheriff & DA policy: Indoors - 10 flowering plants + 10 vegging + 1 mother; Outdoors: 20 starters or 10 mature plants, 1 - 2 lb processed marijuana depending on season of year.

Humboldt Co.

• County guidelines allow patients 100 square feet and 3 lbs w/ no plant number limit. Cities of Eureka and Fortuna PDs and CHP enforce SB 420 limits (6 mature/12 immature plants, 1/2 lb).

Mendocino Co.

• On December 30, 2008, Mendocino County Superior Court Judge John Behnke ruled Measure B's limits of eight ounces of dried marijuana and six mature or 12 immature plants per qualified patient (unless a doctor allows more) were now the legal limits in Mendocino County, reversing his August ruling throwing out the limits. Section 9.31.050 of Mendocino County Code makes the cultivation of more than 25 plants per parcel a public nuisance, regardless of patient status. On April 20, 2009, the Mendo Board of Supervisors introduced an ordinance that would transfer the zip-tie program to the public health department, and institute a $100 per day fine for not having written permission from landowners, a six-foot fence with a locked gate, or being within 1000 feet of a school or church, etc. The amended ordinance, which also includes a provision allowing for the Sheriff to seek reimbursement for costs of eradication, was delayed on May 5. On June 23, the Board voted to start selling voluntary zip-ties for $25 on July 1 without enacting the rest of the ordinance.
