If a doc gives you a script for a higher plant number in your garden does this trump what your county would allow?
Not really. The state law is the mandatory minimum allowable. Cities and counties can allow more, but not less. They can try to allow less, but that should violate state law.wheres the doc. from? the state? heres the deal if state law says say 6 plants and your actual town has some ordinance that says you can only have 4 then ya the town ordinance beats the state law....
Yes, technically a doctors rec should supersede any local plant limits, but I'm not sure if cops see it that way. Depending on where, they'll still try to bust you for it.If a doc gives you a script for a higher plant number in your garden does this trump what your county would allow?
no your wrong and im 100 percent sure of that...think of it this way if you were right then say one town called town A has a law about noise limits at night but the state has a law that says the noise limit is 100 db higher than the towns law...why the hell would the town have made the law?? when you live in a particular town you are agreeing to abide by the local govts regulations....heres a real life ex. in chicago where my buddy lives its illegal to own a hand gun yet outside of chicago but still in illinois his friends can own handguns...how would that be possible if you were right?? cant be...your wrong on this one manNot really. The state law is the mandatory minimum allowable. Cities and counties can allow more, but not less. They can try to allow less, but that should violate state law.
and actually you have it EXACTLY backwards the cities and towns cant allow more because thats against state law...however they can restrict state law and allow lessNot really. The state law is the mandatory minimum allowable. Cities and counties can allow more, but not less. They can try to allow less, but that should violate state law.
That all depends on how the state law was made. If the law was made by the state legislature, then you might be correct, but if it was made by voter initiative, then it's a constitutional amendment and applies to the entire state regardless of local law.no your wrong and im 100 percent sure of that...think of it this way if you were right then say one town called town A has a law about noise limits at night but the state has a law that says the noise limit is 100 db higher than the towns law...why the hell would the town have made the law?? when you live in a particular town you are agreeing to abide by the local govts regulations....heres a real life ex. in chicago where my buddy lives its illegal to own a hand gun yet outside of chicago but still in illinois his friends can own handguns...how would that be possible if you were right?? cant be...your wrong on this one man
Ok. But he's asking if getting a doctor's rec with a raised plant limit supersedes a local plant limit. It does. It doesn't matter how many plants your city/county says you can have if your doctor puts a higher limit on your rec.once again the kelly thing appears to be different than what we are talking about here because sb420 is state wide and the caps on amounts were put into the STATE law without a vote....this is still different than if a county or town put a cap on the amount of dried marijuana someone can possess..the town can still pass an ordinance saying you can only possess 6 ounces at a time because that is within the sb420 amount of 8 ounces...which seemingly is unconstitutional anyway but for argument sake had the amount of 8 zips been constitutional a town can then go and say nope here you can only have 6 without any type of voter initiative!
Dan is right as usual:
Here's the actual Health and Safety Code, below.
California Health and Safety Code Section 11362.77
(a) A qualified patient or primary caregiver may possess no more than eight ounces of dried marijuana per qualified patient. In addition, a qualified patient or primary caregiver may also maintain no more than six mature or 12 immature marijuana plants per qualified patient.
(b) If a qualified patient or primary caregiver has a doctor's recommendation that this quantity does not meet the qualified patient' s medical needs, the qualified patient or primary caregiver may possess an amount of marijuana consistent with the patient's needs.
(c) Counties and cities may retain or enact medical marijuana guidelines allowing qualified patients or primary caregivers to exceed the state limits set forth in subdivision (a).
(d) Only the dried mature processed flowers of female cannabis plant or the plant conversion shall be considered when determining allowable quantities of marijuana under this section.
(e) The Attorney General may recommend modifications to the possession or cultivation limits set forth in this section. These recommendations, if any, shall be made to the Legislature no later than December 1, 2005, and may be made only after public comment and consultation with interested organizations, including, but not limited to, patients, health care professionals, researchers, law enforcement, and local governments. Any recommended modification shall be consistent with the intent of this article and shall be based on currently available scientific research.
(f) A qualified patient or a person holding a valid identification card, or the designated primary caregiver of that qualified patient or person, may possess amounts of marijuana consistent with this article.
Yes I agree.I think this is why some places have banned outdoor and or added canopy restrictions instead of plant count restrictions.
