Legislation: A majority of Washington citizens voted in favor of medical marijuana in November 1998. “Fifty-nine percent of voters approved Measure 692 on November 3, 1998. The law took effect on that day. It removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients who possess “valid documentation” from their physician affirming that he or she suffers from a debilitating condition and that the “potential benefits of the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the health risks.” Patients diagnosed with the following illnesses are afforded legal protection under this act: cachexia; cancer; HIV or AIDS; epilepsy; glaucoma; intractable pain (defined as pain unrelieved by standard treatment or medications); and multiple sclerosis. Other conditions are subject to approval by the Washington Board of Health. Patients (or their primary caregivers) may legally possess or cultivate no more than a 60-day supply of marijuan

Patients who possess larger quantities of cannabis than those approved by the Department will continue to receive legal protection under the law if they present evidence indicating that they require such amounts to adequately treat their qualifying medical condition.
Senate Bill 6032 also affirms changes previously recommended by the state’s Medical Quality Assurance Commission to expand the state’s list of qualifying conditions to include Crohn’s disease, hepatitis c, and any “diseases, including anorexia, which results in nausea, vomiting, wasting, appetite loss, cramping, seizures, muscle spasms, and/or spasticity, when these symptoms are unrelieved by standard treatments or medications.”
The new law also limits the ability of police to seize medicinal cannabis that is “determined … [to be] possessed lawfully [by an authorized patients] under the … law.” Source: http://www.norml.com/index.cfm?Group_ID=4571&wtm_view=medical

Legislation: The state of Maryland has medical marijuana laws enacted.
Possession or use of any amount of marijuana is punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
For any second or subsequent conviction, the sentence may double from that for a first offense.
Maryland is one of the strictest states in the country. It has a medical marijuana defense (used in court) but it is not on par with the laws of any of the other 10+ medical marijuana states. ” Maryland’s legislature passed a medical marijuana affirmative defense law in 2003. This law requires the court to consider a defendant’s use of medical marijuana to be a mitigating factor in marijuana-related state prosecution. If the patient, post-arrest, successfully makes the case at trial that his or her use of marijuana is one of medical necessity, then the maximum penalty allowed by law would be a $100 fine.” Source: http://www.norml.com/index.cfm?Group_ID=4542&wtm_view=medical
Law enforcement: It’s pretty calm out here so long as you don’t mess with the cops. If you managed to get pulled over (usually need to really do something stupid to get pulled over) and they search and find you holding, you’re going to jail. First offense will get you released the next morning with a slap on the wrist. Cultivation isn’t much of an issue, just stick to the don’t tell anybody rule and you’ll be fine.

Law enforcement: Basically the police in Sunland Park don’t really go after smokers, but also be careful, it’s a small town so cops may be bored, if stopped they will usually call for back up for minor traffic offenses and will always try to search your car. If they find some weed you will go to jail, but at worst you’ll spend the night and will need to pay a fine (personal use amount).
Where to buy marijuana: Sunland Park has many advantages when it comes to Marijuana, the most important being its location, because it is actually a suburb of El Paso Texas, and also being next to Cd. Juarez Chih. In Sunland Park just ask any teenager hanging out at the park. Also if there is no weed in Sunland Park just go to El Paso any mall don’t be afraid to ask, but use caution.

Where to buy marijuana: your best bet will probably be the bike path. It runs through the most of the southern and eastern parts of the town and its not uncommon to see adults on there so you won’t stand out. Just go to the bridge near Orchard Park and underneath it (you have to ride your bike underneath, so you can’t miss it) youll see groups of ppl. Generally have skateboards/bikes and although they are usually young they and can get you decent shit. If you cant get to the bike path (you can either walk or ride a bike, no cars/mother vehicles on that path) just go to any fast food place and just look for groups of ppl. Also try north wall since its the poorer section. you’ll still get good weed there.

Marijuana brands: you name it they got it
More information: uhh you might have trouble if your black if you go to the southern part of the town.

Legislation: Marijuana is illegal in New York state, and so is any activity related to marijuana (possession, cultivation, and of course dealing).
For small amounts (less than 25 grams) first time offenders, there is no Incarceration, and a fee of $100.
Punishment for possessing a small but commercial quantity is 1-3 years (not less than 1, not more than 3).
Updates from criminal justice officials in NYC:
“1- By law, you’re supposed to see a judge within 24 hours of arrest
2- 1st time small amount offenders are almost always offered to have their cases adjourned 1 year and dismissed so long as they are not rearrested. IN all likelihood rearrests in other jurisdictions will not have the case reoppened.
3- It is not a crime to posses small amounts, I do not have the exact weight off hand. It is only a crime if you pass a threshold weight, you have your weed in public view or it is actually burning.
4- They will arrest and prosecute you for residue: e.g., an empty pipe or bag.”
Law enforcement: it depends on which neighborhood you’re in. If you’re hanging out on westcott street or east genessee street then you should probably be safe as far as public smoking goes.
Where to buy marijuana: Marijuana can be purchased in literally any neighborhood in Syracuse. If you don’t have any connections or are new to town then you could just hang around the east side and ask random black dudes

Legislation: Prop 215 has been around for a few years. You can find a Herbal Boutique in virtually any town but many of those East of the Oakland hills (i.e. Walnut Creek, Concord, and the rest of Contra Costa County) require an appointment.
Pot is approved for medical use, which makes the legal status vague. Still, it is safe to keep your weed safely hidden.
Law Enforcement: If they find weed on you they make you unbag it and grind it into the ground. The meth epidemic out here makes cops turn a blind eye to any unprocessed drugs (weed, shrooms, etc.). Dealers rarely get cracked down on because they all have 215 cards, and it’d be too difficult to catch them in the act of selling since no one pre-bags.
Where to Buy Marijuana in Walnut Creek (CoCo): Friends mostly. You’re usually less than 3 degrees from a slanger. If you’re new to the area hit up one of the pool halls or just wait infront of a 7-11 and talk to whoever buys Swishers or Optimos.
Walnut Creek Marijuana Prices: Dimes – $10 (.5g – .7g) Dubs – $20 (1g – 1.7g) Henrys – $40 – $50 (3.5g)

General Calfornia Information:
Legislation: In California since 1996’s Prop 215 anyone “recommended” (not prescribed—doctors nationwide can’t prescribe cannabis but they can under freedom of speech laws recommend it informally for your condition/illness) marijuana has been able to use it in their home legally now in quantities “Under the [statewide] guidelines, qualified patients and/or their primary caregivers may possess no more than eight ounces of dried marijuana and/or six mature (or 12 immature) marijuana plants. However, S.B. 420 allows patients to possess larger amounts of marijuana when such quantities are recommended by a physician. The legislation also allows counties and municipalities to approve and/or maintain local ordinances permitting patients to possess larger quantities of medicinal pot than allowed under the new state guidelines. [For detailed information on county or municipal medical marijuana guidelines [whether your area allows greater than 8 ounces to be possessed, etc.], please visit: http://www.safeaccessnow.net/countyguidelines.htm Oakland, for example, allows more than most counties]”
Thus if you are recommended cannabis you can visit the cannabis dispensaries (pharmacies supplying only medical marijuana to patients displaying proof of recommendation and residence in California) but some counties have banned the dispensaries in their area. Nonetheless there are many dispensaries in LA (over 100) and some in Northern California especially towards the coast. Or you can grow the applicable amount you want legally. If a police officer discovers you are in possession of cannabis showing them an ID card from your county will make them leave you alone faster (optional, costs over $100 a year). Under state law your marijuana use will be 100% legal in your home. Federal laws against medical marijuana don’t change the way California (or any other) state police officers and courts treat medical marijuana—only state laws do. California state law protects all doctor-recommended medical marijuana users as long as they don’t go over the quantity limits and don’t sell their cannabis to anyone. Thus medical marijuana is quite legal in California and many have gotten legal protection for their medical use for a wide variety of conditions not yet allowed in the other 11 medical marijuana states: e.g., Migraine, Arthritis, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), PMS, Severe Anxiety and many other conditions where marijuana is useful and effective.
source: CANORML.org and NORML.com [California and National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws] and MPP.org [Marijuana Policy Project]
Law enforcement: Medical marijuana users with doctor recommendations are fully legally protected in California for amounts up to at least 8 ounces and/or 6 mature (or 12 immature) plants in their home (certain counties listed here http://www.safeaccessnow.net/countyguidelines.htm allow more and certain conditions allow larger quantities sometimes). State police officers must not arrest you if you can show an identification card ($100 or so per year) or show your doctor-written proof of recommendation paper. As long as you keep within the legal quantity. 99% of marijuana arrests in the USA are done by state police officers according to MPP.org so as long as your medical marijuana use is legal in California you will not to have any problems as long as you follow state rules.
Where to buy marijuana: Medical users can buy at a dispensary (over 150 in the state, mostly in LA and the SF Bay area on the coast) with full legal protection to the quantities they are allowed. Also if an authorized medical user buys off the street they cannot be arrested for doing so as long as they can display a medical marijuana identification card ($100 or so a year) or show their written doctor’s proof of recommendation. Or they could grow their own to the amounts allowed.
More information: California is a pioneering medical marijuana state; the first “effective” American medical marijuana state since 1996 and the one that allows use for the most conditions (marijuana has shown anecdotal and scientifically proven results for many conditions, more than the 4 or 5 conditions (cancer/nasuea/chemotherapy side effects, HIV/AIDS, chronic pain, glaucoma, or MS or anorexia that the other 11 states have legalized use when recommended (though Maryland has the least protection according to MPP.org)) Plus California has decriminalized other marijuana use to a $100 fine for under an ounce possession and fines for paraphrenalia; no jail time and some cities have set marijuana use in general as the lowest law enforcement priority thus ignoring small time possession much more often.

Law Enforcement: It depends where you are and what you’re doing in the city. If you are in the North End then you should be somewhat discreet. The cops won’t usually do anything unless someone complains about you. If you’re in the south end and don’t look sketchy then you’re fine because cops only really care about meth and gangs.
