With intensified apprehension of exploitation from the federal Gov. and after meeting with the original sponsors of the CA Med Marijuana seed Law, A.G. Harris tried to motivate lawmakers to forgo partial actions and to preform meaningful reform to Ca. medical marijuana laws, to both improve the quality of service and simplify the state’s procedure as to implementation of the state’s medical marijuana laws.
In A.G. Harris’s four page memo sent to Senate Pro-Temp — Darrell Steinberg, as well as the Speaker of the Assembly, J. A. Perez, then CC’d: to Mark leno and Tom Ammiano, A.G. Harris went on to state the following:
“California law places a premium on patients’ rights to access marijuana seeds for medical use. In any legislative action that is taken, voters’ decision to allow physicians to recommend marijuana to treat seriously ill individuals must be respected.”
Chief amongst the unsettled problems – A.G. Harris pointed to the need to define” the right to collectively cultivate marijuana seeds”, defining “non-profit” and regulating medical marijuana edibles.
One of the High lights of this memo was that she felt the need to point the representatives to – Article II, section 10(c) of the California Constitution which generally prohibits Legislature from amending voter initiatives, or changing their scope or effect, without voter approval… Sweet!
