MEDICAL POT ORDINANCE JG

AN ORDINANCE GOING BEFORE THE SANTA CRUZ COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON TUESDAY WOULD CHANGE HOW MUCH MEDICAL MARIJUANA A PATIENT COULD HAVE POSSESSION OF OR GROW. CURRENTLY, STATE LAW ALLOWS PATIENTS TO POSSESS 8 OUNCES OF DRIED POT, AND 6 MATURE PLANTS OR 12 IMMATURE PLANTS. THE NEW COUNTY ORDINANCE WOULD ALLOW FOR UP TO 3 POUNDS OF DRIED POT, AND A 100 SQUARE FOOT GARDEN CANOPY FOR PLANTS OR MORE WITH DOCTOR?S RECOMMENDATION. IF THE ORDINANCE GAINS APPROVAL TUESDAY, IT WILL STILL NEED A SECOND ROUND OF APPROVAL BEFORE IT BECOMES LAW.
