Legal question about state personal use limits

Discussion in 'Marijuana Legalization' started by Litew8stoner, Nov 23, 2011.

  1. How can a state set a personal amount of marijuana by their law, but refuse to regulate it legally? Is there something unconstitutional about that? Could it be cruel and unusual punishment to expect someone to become a felon and go to jail a long time because they accidentally purchased more marijuana then the state's "personal amount" ?
     
  2. In California personal limits were ruled unconstitutional in People v. Kelly:

    Patients are advised that unless they have solid documentation of their need to exceed the limits set forth by SB420 they should stay within the limits, despite the Kelly decision.
