Under amendment 215, a patient does not have the right to sell medical marijuana. However, Federal law SB 420 provides for the ability of trustees or members of the grower cooperative to charge members of the group money to cover the costs of cultivating the plant. At the same time, the law emphasizes the non-commercial nature of the transfer of cannabis from one person to another.

The employer reserves the right to accept or not accept a person who accepts medical marijuana. At the same time, the use of cannabis in the workplace is prohibited in a number of industries where Federal drug-testing rules apply.

Under Federal law, Smoking cannabis is subject to restrictions that apply to smoking as such. Weed use is prohibited within 1,000 feet of schools and youth centers, as well as on a school bus, while driving, or at the swimming pool.

In the state of California, many counties and cities have adopted regulations on zoning areas where medical cannabis is grown. In this regard, some communities either prohibit or significantly restrict the cultivation of marijuana in the open air. Therefore, experts recommend that you first clarify the rules of local legislation before making a decision about growing your own medical weed.

Under Federal law, possession of marijuana in excess of the permitted standards is a misdemeanor, and the cultivation of cannabis bushes in excess of the permitted amount entails criminal prosecution. At the same time, participants in the medical cannabis program are subject to more lenient forms of punishment or are not charged at all.

According To Prob.215, which regulates issues related to medical marijuana, a participant in the MMJ California program can grow and consume as much cannabis as they need, based on medical necessity. However, if this freedom is abused, the SB 420 standards may be applied to a person who grows more than 6 mature and 12 vegetative plants at the same time. Also, according to this law, it is allowed to store up to 8 ounces of dried cannabis per 1 person. At the same time, legal practice suggests that if a patient exceeds the permissible limit, but their doctor will examine the need for such intensive use of cannabis in therapy, the accused is likely to be acquitted.
