It sounds like we can support a friend. Get an education about rights that may save us a prolonged stay in jail, and get dinner too! Not a bad deal considering how many county's think Marijuana for medical use is still illegal. I will provide a summary of the county DA's that responded to my inquiry....many did not respond and are keeping it a secret or just do not know yet. Beware!\n \nMy point is that what may be "legal medically or religiously" can still get you put into jail, and in the mean time you should know how to minimize your time there. Tricks of the trade when dealing with the police.\n\nHilary McQuie / Harm Reduction Coalition\nmcquie at harmreduction.org Harm Reduction Coalition\n\nwrote:\nKnow Your Rights: Stay Out of Jail \n \nIf you or your friends use illegal drugs, this\n**free** training is for you\n \nWe'll talk about basic legal information for dealing\nwith the cops, including questioning, searches, staying safe and legal, cops' dirty tricks, and much more.\n \nWednesday, June 28\n6:00pm to 9:00pm\nCentral City SRO Collaborative\n253 Hyde Street (at Turk Street)\nSan Fransisco\nDinner served for participants afterwards.\n \nIf you have questions about the training,\ncall Hilary McQuie from the Harm Reduction Coalition\nat (510) 444-6969\nPlease pass on to those who may be interested.\nIf you want to set up such a training in your area,\nplease contact us.\n \nOur postal address is\n22 West 27th Street, 5th Floor\nNew York, New York 10001\nUnited States\n============================\n\nSUMARY OF COUNTY URL’S\n\nLocal California Dispensary Regulations\n\nhttp://www.safeaccessnow.org/article.php?id=3165\n\n \n\nPlacerville Dispensary Regs\n\nhttp://www.cityofplacerville.org/civica/filebank/blobdload.asp?BlobID=3194\nhttp://www.safeaccessnow.org/downloads/Placerville.pdf\n\n=========================================\n\nRiverside County\n\nThis County of\n Riverside site:\n\nCommunity Health \n\nhttp://www.rivcocha.org/ \n\n \n\nlinks to this site:\n\nDepartment of Public Health:\n\nhttp://www.rivcoph.org/ \n\n \n\nwho then links to this site:\n\nMedical Marijuana Identification Card (MMIC)\n\nhttp://www.rivcommic.org/ \n\n \n\nMedical Marijuana Identification Card (MMIC)\n\nhttp://www.rivcommic.org/ \n\nCounty\n Policy\n\nhttp://www.dhs.ca.gov/hisp/ochs/mmp/Legislative_History/Links/SB_420_Chaptered.htm\n\nhttp://www.dhs.ca.gov/hisp/ochs/mmp/Legislative_History/Links/Proposition_215.htm\n\n \n\n========================================\n\nButte\n\nhttp://www.buttecounty.net/da/215.htm\n\n=========================================\n\nHumboldt\n\nhttp://www.co.humboldt.ca.us/distatty/pdf/Medical%20Marijuana%20Ordinance.pdf\n\n=========================================\n\nEl Dorado\n\nhttp://www.co.el-dorado.ca.us/ELDODA/cua.html\n\n=========================================\n\nSierra County\n\nSierra County is following the State of California Medical Marijuana \n\nGuide Lines.

The County is also challenging the ID Card system of the MMP (Medical Marijuana Program) law (S.B.420) along with San Diego County.\n \nThe MMP's guideline of 6 mature, 12 immature and 8oz of bud seems a fairly rational guideline. Trafficking cases (HS11359, HS11360) will always be filed regardless of medicinal usage claims. Personal use medical marijuana usage cases are evaluated (as all cases) on a case-by-case basis.\n \nIf you have more specific questions, please let me know.\n===========================================================\nTrinity County\nThere are no local guidelines in Trinity County.

The last I checked, sales of a gram is still a felony, a twenty acre farm for personal use by a guy with an oral recommendation by a physician is legal. We don't have a URL or a PDF site in this regard. Thanks so much, though, for your efforts to save the county money from prosecutions that will have to be dismissed.\nJeff Cunan\nPlumas County DA\n????????TEHAMA COUNTY?????????\nUpdates received for SAN Tehama received Wed, 19 Apr 2006\n \nTEHAMA COUNTY SHERIFF NUMBER M2\nOPERATION DIVISION PROCEDURE EFFECTIVE DATE: 010100\nCLASSIFICATION: PUBLIC INFORMATION AMENDED: 101005\n \nSUBJECT: MEDICINAL MARIJUANA INVESTIGATIONS\n \nPURPOSE: TO ESTABLISH A UNIFORM PROCEDURE FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF MEDICINAL MARIJUANA CULTIVATION CASES AND SET GUIDELINES ON THE QUANTITY OF PLANTS TO BE LEGALLY POSSESSED BY THE GROWER WHO IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPASSIONATE USE ACT OF 1996.\n \nREFERENCE: HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTIONS 11362.5 AND 11367.77\n \n \n1. GENERAL\n \nA. Subsequent to the passage of Proposition 215 by the voters of the State of California, law enforcement agencies have been burdened with a law that does not contain guidelines for the quantity of marijuana plants and dried marijuana to be possessed by persons who are complying with the law. In 2003, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 420 which finally sets guidelines for the quantity of plants that can be cultivated and the amount of marijuana that may be possessed by recognized medicinal marijuana growers and users. On September 27th 2005, the Tehama County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 98-2005 that establishes a quantity of plants that can be cultivated and the amount of marijuana that may be possessed by recognized medicinal marijuana growers and users. These guidelines are highlighted below. \n \nB. Therefore, this policy serves as a guideline for setting the standards within Tehama County for those persons who comply with Section 11362.5 of the Health and Safety Code.\n \nC. The purpose of this policy is to foster a positive relationship and provide for mutual cooperation between law enforcement and those persons complying with Section 11362.5 of the Health and Safety Code.\n \nD. It is anticipated that those persons complying with Section 11362.5 of the Health and Safety Code will voluntarily identify themselves to the Tehama County Sheriff’s Department so that a voluntary monitoring program can be implemented. \n \n \n2. RESPONSIBILITY\n \nA. The investigation of cases involving the cultivation of marijuana and personal possession of marijuana for medicinal purposes will be the responsibility of the Operations Lieutenant and marijuana Detective. Any and all information regarding medicinal marijuana cases will be forwarded to the marijuana Detective.\n \nB. Once a medicinal marijuana grow or medicinal marijuana possession case is identified, it will be the responsibility of the Operations Lieutenant and marijuana Detective to contact the involved subjects and confirm that the subjects have the necessary recommendations in his/her possession.\n \nC. The Operations Lieutenant and marijuana Detective, with the cooperation of the persons complying with the medicinal marijuana law, will inspect the marijuana cultivation site to ensure that the following guidelines are met.\n(Outdoor Cultivation)\n1. Seedlings-12 or\n2. Flowering Plants-6 or\n3. Mature Plants-6\n4. Dried Marijuana-8 ounces\n \n(Indoor Cultivation)\n1. Seedlings-12 or\n2. Flowering Plants-6 or\n3. Mature Plants-6\n4. Dried Marijuana-8 ounces \n \nIf the above quantities are not exceeded, the documented medicinal marijuana cultivator and possessor is in compliance with the standards set forth by this agency and the investigation will not be submitted for prosecution.\n \n \n \n Approved:_____________________\n Clay D. Parker\n Sheriff\n \n Date: _____________________\n \n \n\n=========================================================\n\nAmador County\n\nSB420 allows eight (8) ounces of dried mature processed flowers of the\n\nfemale cannabis plant AND no more than six (6) mature or twelve (12)\n\ninmature plants per qualified patient.\n\n \n\nThis information is straight from our Most Frequently Asked\n Questions\n\nthat is given to all of our applicants. We have no information\n\navailable on dispensaries.\n\nVentura County\n\nDear Mr. Muller:\n\n \n\nOur office cannot comment on the contents of websites from other\n\ncounties or entities.\n\n \n\nI have no knowledge of a web site affiliated with Ventura County\n that\n\nprovides the specific information that you requested.\n\n \n\nFollowing the enactment of the Compassionate Use Act of 1996\n\n(California Health and Safety Code section 11362.5 et seq.), the \n\nVentura\n\nCounty Sheriff promulgated the "Ventura County Medical\n Marijuana\n\nInter-Agency Protocol and Enforcement Guidelines." On March 27, 2002,\n\nthese guidelines were adopted by the Ventura County Law Enforcement\n\nCoordinating Committee. The policy was signed by the District \n\nAttorney,\n\nthe Sheriff, and the chiefs of police of Ventura,\n Oxnard, Port Hueneme,\n\nSanta Paula, and Simi Valley. The original guidelines allowed for a\n\nstandard of six plants or one pound of marijuana to be cultivated and\n\npossessed by patients as defined by the Compassionate Use Act of 1996.\n \n\nThey also establish that local law enforcement will be reasonable in\n\ninvestigating and prosecuting marijuana possession and cultivation\n\ncharges, using a "totality of the circumstance" approach with\n\ndeference to the right of a medical marijuana user to rightfully \n\npossess\n\nand cultivate.\n\n \n\nSenate Bill 420 ((SB 420, an act to add Article 2.5 (commencing with\n\nSection 11362.7,\n added by Stats. 2003) to Chapter 6 of Division 10 of\n\nthe Health and Safety Code, relating to controlled substances)), signed\n\nby the Governor on October 12, 2003, quantifies legal possession for \n\nthe\n\nqualified patient or primary caregiver as:\n\n1. No more than eight (8) ounces dried marijuana, and six (6)\n\nmature plants or twelve (12) immature plants,\n OR\n\n2. If their doctor's recommended quantity differs from the amount\n\ncited in the SB 420, possession amount is consistent with the\n\npatient's needs.\n\n \n\nIn response to this new statewide standard, local law enforcement has\n\namended the Ventura County Medical Marijuana Inter-Agency Protocol and\n\nEnforcement Guidelines to comport with state law and patient needs.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\nVery truly yours,\n\n \n\nGregory W. Brose\n\nSenior Deputy District Attorney\n\nVentura County District Attorney's Office\n\n \n It is OK to be right and legal it is an other thing to stay out of jail.
