California Guidelines Issued In Medical Marijuana Dispute

Los Angeles- The Attorney General of California has entered the dispute between those that would use marijuana for medical usage and the Federal Government.

For more than 10 years, there has been a dispute between the authorities in California and the Federal authorities.

The California Attorney General, Jerry Brown has issued guidelines that has a thick bundle of legal precedent and state codes.

“The Federal Authorities will hopefully back off a little if people follow these guidelines,” Brown said.

Not for profit collectives and medical marijuana cooperatives have normally shared marijuana, but the new guidelines frown on such usage.

The For profit medical marijuana cooperatives do not fare well under the new guidelines, and dispensaries are not allowed to purchase from illegal growers under the guidelines that the Attorney General presented to the public.

“There have been a number of abuses in the past, hopefully these guidelines will help remove opportunities for illegal activity,” said AG Brown.

The Federal government has opposed attempts at use and production of marijuana, and it has been a conflict, with different cases where the Federal government has brought charges against individuals and groups that have previously received a pass from the California authorities.

The efforts by the California Attorney General to issue these guidelines will serve to in many ways further muddy the waters, as the Federal government shows no sign of backing away from prosecution of people that use or sell marijuana.

Voters have approved the use of medical marijuana, but to the federal United States Government, it remains an illegal activity.
