"California Supreme Court Strikes Down Marijuana Limits

The California Supreme Court ruled unanimously yesterday to strike down a law that sought to impose limits on the amount of marijuana that medical patients may legally possess, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The court said that because Proposition 215, the medical marijuana ballot measure that passed in 1996, allows patients to possess an unspecified amount of marijuana, it was wrong for the state Legislature to mandate an eight-ounce limit in 2003. Only voters, the court said, can make changes to amendments that have been added to the state constitution through the initiative process."

The Wall Street Journal reported on the legalization movement on Friday

"We're beyond a tipping point culturally," said Roger Goodman, a Democrat representing Kirkland, Wash., and other Seattle suburbs in the Washington legislature who co-authored the legalization bill, known as HB 2401. "Now we're at a point where we're figuring out the safest way to end prohibition."

West Coast states—especially California—are particularly in the vanguard of the marijuana-legalization push given the region's more-liberal attitudes toward a variety of issues. Legalization measures in other states, such as Massachusetts and New Hampshire, haven't gotten as far, said Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws."
