I get my information from the actual court cases not from the newspapers. The fact is the “guidelines” can only be used as a “threashold” not a “ceiling” (taken directly from the ruling), and can not be used in court. A patient may have any size garden to fullfill there own personal needs. Thats the law. State law trumps local ordinance on this issue, and before you start with Federal trumps state, you might want to read NORML V San Dieago, and Qualified Patient V Anehiem, both state clearly that Federal law does NOT trump state law. Now you may disagree with my OPINION that the city remove mention of personal gardens from city code, but that does not make me wrong on the law, as it stands now.

Sailors is very wrong. Not surprising a stoner can’t understand the law. If he wants to be on the council he may want to get informed from some other source than High Times.

The City’s land use based medical cannabis “jim crowe” law is in fact an illegal amendment to prop 215, and that is an unconstitutional according to the California Supreme Court. ( People V. Kelly 2010)
All mention of personal medical cannabis growing needs to be removed from the City code, and they need to focus on the retail dispensing co-ops, and collectives.
