^ here is the cali supremes ruling a few years back on a similar question. I posted it back then because I thought it was interesting to read especially section IV D 2, where it talks about the roots of 'direct democracy' from the Swiss. but, if you want to save yourself the time here is my synopsis below. :jointsmile:

i would think Monday's ruling will be something similar.


The Voters of California rule their State. When they voted in 1996 that medical users could grow as much cannabis as they needed, they meant it. The Cali congress has no constitutional right to "fine tune" it, as they did with SB 420. SB 420 is unconstitutional but it is allowed to stand as a guideline but is trumped by medical need and other privacy rights.

The power that the will of the voters of California have over their gov'ts is unique among the states.
