Los Angeles Medical Marijuana Attorneys 

Medical Marijuana

In 1996, the state of California enacted the Compassionate Use Act outlined in §11362.5 of the Health and Safety Code. This was created to provide those with illness in California with the ability to legally obtain marijuana to use for medicinal purposes. This is because the use of marijuana has been found to help those who are suffered from cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, arthritis and other painful illnesses. One of the most important aspects of this act was the fact that it exempted patients who have been lawfully prescribed marijuana to be expect from criminal charges relating to possession, cultivation and other drug crimes as long as they can prove that they have been given either written or oral recommendation.
