MEDICINAL POT PATIENTS LIMITED TO 10 PLANTS A YEAR
The Berkeley City Council voted this week to adopt a more conservative
version of a medicinal marijuana ordinance, dashing the hopes of activists
who say the new law doesn't allow users to grow enough plants to soothe
chronic health conditions.
The council on Tuesday voted 8-1 -- with Councilwoman Dona Spring
dissenting -- to permit medicinal marijuana users to grow 10 plants per
year. If grown outside, this would produce 2.5 pounds of dried marijuana
and 1.5 pounds if grown indoors.
