California Legal Tip of the Month: What Does People v. Kelly Mean for Patients? (Part 1)
The California Supreme Court issued a unanimous published decision in People v. Kelly, striking down what it considered unconstitutional legislative limits on how much medical marijuana patients can possess and cultivate.
What does Kelly mean for patients? There are a few things that remain unclear. What is clear is that holding a state-issued ID card and following the guidelines for possession and/or cultivation will prevent arrest.
The bottom-line: play it safe by applying for the state ID card through your county's Department of Public Health. Otherwise, you might have to defend yourself in court, which can be stressful, expensive, and time-consuming.
