Enforcement of Measure B's inadequate medical marijuana grow quantities of 6 mature flowering female plants has been stayed by Superior Court Judge John Behnke, placing it on HOLD at the present time in Mendocino County, through October 25, pending the disposition of several relevent cases by the CA State Supreme Court.

The former Letter of Stipulation between Deputy County Counsel Zotter and Laguna's attorney ED Lerman is no longer in effect but has been replaced by the legally binding Stay from Judge Behnke.

Please bear it in mind that some overzealous Deputies are likely to regard the current situation as open season on patients, who do not currently have ANY particular number of protected plants. If you have had a visit from the MCSO with an inappropriate result, Contact MMMAB immediately.

Yes, it is a confusing situation.

The Mendocino Medical Marijuana Advisory Board has repeatedly been promised a copy of the MCSO's written Medical Marijuana and Marijuana enforcement instructions to Deputies, so that it is clear to all concerned parties what procedures will be followed by Deputies when investigating a marijuana garden. Several times we have been informed that these instructions are in the process of revision and will be provided when complete. We have never been provided with said documentation during the present administration. During the Craver administration, it was no problem. Stay tuned.
