The justices unanimously declare unconstitutional a 2003 provision that capped possession at eight ounces and cultivation at six mature or 12 immature plants. In a unanimous decision filed Thursday, the California Supreme Court struck down the state's specific limits on how much medical marijuana a patient can possess, concluding that restrictions imposed by the Legislature were an unconstitutional amendment of a voter-approved initiative.
