Court broadens Rx marijuana defense

Los Angeles Times
Published November 28, 2006

SAN FRANCISCO -- People charged with transporting marijuana might avoid conviction if they can show the drug was for their personal, medical use, the California Supreme Court ruled Monday.

In a 6-1 decision, the court said the medical marijuana law protects patients who transport even relatively large quantities of the drug if they can show that the amount was consistent with their medical needs and recommended by a licensed physician.

The court reached its decision in the case of Shaun Eric Wright, who was arrested in 2001 while carrying more than a pound of marijuana in his truck.

Police charged Wright with possessing marijuana for sale and with transporting it.

A physician testified that he had recommended Wright use marijuana to alleviate pain, abdominal problems and emotional stress.

The doctor said that Wright preferred eating marijuana, which demands a larger amount to achieve the same effect as smoking it. The doctor said Wright needed a pound of marijuana every two to three months.
