Ruling overturns Redondo medical marijuana decision
A pot bust in a Redondo Beach motel room led to a precedent-setting ruling this week in the ongoing effort to decipher conflicting and controversial medicinal marijuana laws.
Three justices from the 2nd District Court of Appeals decided Wednesday that state law does not require “a patient to periodically renew a doctor’s recommendation regarding medical marijuana use.”
In addition, the justices ruled that it should be left to a jury to determine if the amount of marijuana a patient possesses is related to their medical needs or exceeds the law.
