A quick note from OU Staff:
Please keep in mind that any amount of medicinal cannabis grown or possessed must be reasonable for the patient's condition and medical needs. What "reasonable" is will have to be determined on a case-by-case basis in the court of law. We will pass on more information after we have fully vetted this issue with our legal advisers.

The Justices Unanimously Declare Unconstitutional a 2003 Provision
That Capped Possession at Eight Ounces and Cultivation at Six Mature
or 12 Immature Plants.
In a unanimous decision filed Thursday, the California Supreme Court
struck down the state's specific limits on how much medical marijuana
a patient can possess, concluding that restrictions imposed by the
Legislature were an unconstitutional amendment of a voter-approved initiative.
The decision, which affirmed an appellate decision, means people who
have a doctor's recommendation to use marijuana can possess and
cultivate as much as is "reasonably necessary."
