Doctors Give Medicinal Marijuana Guidelines
Medical marijuana patients in Santa Cruz County would be allowed to keep three pounds of pot if officials go along with a recommendation by a group of doctors.
Doctors and patients said legal possession of 48 ounces of marijuana is appropriate for medicinal purposes. Three pounds over the course of a year is understandable, said Valerie Corral of the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana.
The Board of Supervisors will consider new medical marijuana guidelines on Tuesday.
The board will decide whether to ask the county counsel to craft an ordinance reflecting the guidelines and return it for consideration by Oct. 5.
