Marijuana in California

California is golden state of America. It leads rules and regulations as a leading body which is then followed by other states. It is first state that removed marijuana from Schedule-I to II and allowed its medical use. Patients that doctors recommend to use this drug are given special cards. Farmer and authorized shops see those cards and sell.


State has allowed a limited quantity to grow for medical purpose only. And sale is also up to two ounce per person. Although marijuana weed or smoking directly infects brain structures memory areas, so its use is limited. But question remain whether it would be preferred over alcohol or not.

Drug Policy Alliance and MPP are pushing drug favoring groups to draft policy for next ballots. Many drafts rejected over controversial use of words by state attorney. Lawyers are hopeful that if California is set as an example, the road ahead will become much easier to build.

Marijuana Policy Project formerly known as MPP is giving much time to California state legislation. MPP representative Tvert says that alcohol and marijuana are common among teens. Police focuses and courts punishes teens for only using or having these drugs. While their money goes to black market grabbing more serious crimes. MPP revised polices can lead police to focus on other serious matters.
