Medical marijuana users in the Sacramento region can expect guidelines,
possibly by the end of the year, on how much pot they can grow without
being prosecuted.
District attorneys in Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yuba and Amador
counties are hoping to produce uniform standards that were left out of
Proposition 215. The 1996 state initiative allows people with severe
medical conditions to use marijuana with a doctor's permission.
But the law has left unclear enforcement guidelines for authorities and
users, because it conflicts with federal narcotics laws that still make
growing or owning marijuana illegal. The law also fails to define how much
marijuana should be legal for medical use, said Yuba County Dist. Atty.
Patrick McGrath.
