The California Supreme Court today upheld a state appeals court ruling that voided California's medical marijuana growing restrictions, calling them unconstitutional.

Anticipated widely as "the Kelly decision," in effect it also voids Mendocino County's Measure B which enacted the state limits - 12 immature plants or six mature plants and 8 ounces of dried marijuana - as the county's growing and possession limits.

The court kept alive the voluntary ID card system for patients agreeing to limit themselves.

At issue is Prop. 215, the Compassionate Use Act which legalized medical marijuana in California in 1996. The CUA did not limit the amount of marijuana a patient could grow or possess except to a reasonable amount consistent with the patient's medical needs.
