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.
