Pot brownies in prison.

Hi I'm just bringing brownies for my boyfriend/husband. He's in for marijuana charges.

In Calfornia, you cannot bring/send any pre-made food items. They tell you to bring money, they have vending machines or a store you can buy from.
Not their first bbq!

peace
doublejj

California:

According to California Health and Safety Code § 11362.785 (SB 420):

1. "Nothing in this article shall require any accommodation of any medical use of marijuana on the property or premises of any jail, correctional facility, or other type of penal institution in which prisoners reside or persons under arrest are detained.
2. Notwithstanding subdivision (a), a person shall not be prohibited or prevented from obtaining and submitting the written information and documentation necessary to apply for an identification card on the basis that the person is incarcerated in a jail, correctional facility, or other penal institution in which prisoners reside or persons under arrest are detained.
3. Nothing in this article shall prohibit a jail, correctional facility, or other penal institution in which prisoners reside or persons under arrest are detained, from permitting a prisoner or a person under arrest who has an identification card, to use marijuana for medical purposes under circumstances that will not endanger the health or safety of other prisoners or the security of the facility."

In layperson's terms this means that medical marijuana patients in jail may submit their information to a County Department of Health to apply for a state medical marijuana ID card. However, a correctional facility is not required to accommodate use of medical marijuana, and it is up to the discretion of the correctional facility supervisor as to whether a patient with a state-issued ID card may medicate during his/her detention, if that medication "will not endanger the health and safety of other prisoners or the security of the facility."
In order to influence the supervisor of your correctional facility to use his/her discretion to let you medicate during your detention, obtain a state medical marijuana ID card (if you are able), and offer possible scenarios in which your medication would not deleteriously affect other prisoners. These scenarios might include allowing you to use edibles or tinctures or setting up a designated medication area. In your appeal, you can also reference the words of current San Francisco County Sheriff Mike Hennessey, who said he would allow terminally ill medical marijuana patients to medicate in jail.
If you are a medical marijuana patient who is serving a part (or all) of your detention in a residence, under house arrest, or in a transitional home, your rights are similar to those of a patient in an actual correctional facility. Because you are still serving the sentence you received (as opposed to having completed it, and being on parole/probation), it is like you are in jail, except that the supervisor whose discretion you need to appeal to will more likely be the County Probation Department or transitional house supervisor, as opposed to the warden. In your appeal, you should note that the fact that you are either in a non-correctional residence or a transition house, and the likelihood of your medication "endangering the health and safety of other prisoners or the security of the facility" is greatly decreased by not being in an actual correctional facility. You may also want to acknowledge that you are aware of the differences between your situation and probation, but that there is a California Appellate Court (3rd District) decision that says not allowing a medical marijuana patient to medicate on probation is unreasonable. Unfortunately, it remains unlikely that the decisionmaker will decide to allow you to medicate during your period of detention.

I was on House Probation last summer and the dickless swine made me chop down my beautiful 5' Girls just beginning to flower AND sent me to jail for violation

I submitted a request to the Warden and one of the friendly jailers threw it into the garbage saying "not this BS"


But Try! I was upset, I wanted to get to the Warden figuring it's a statement. They also refused me my Big Pharma meds that I brought, as you are advised, in their bottles with my Dr's note which they are not allowed to deny me, yet they did of course.

Ignorant Pigs

You got a better chance of her sneaking some bud in thru her lady pocket

the combination of this post and your avatar are hilarious. but no, you can't pull that off in any american prison that i'm aware of. i think the whole "bake a file in the cake" deal soured them on premade food.

Damn. I thought it was a good idea.

Haha Me too
