BOOK REVIEW: The Margolin Guide - State of California and Federal
Marijuana Laws written by Bruce Margolin
By John Davis
What
is the legal status of weed today? Laws change so fast it seems impossible to
know. Most people haven't the foggiest notion what laws govern marijuana use in
their city, county, or state, and know nothing about what federal laws
overshadow them all.
If you or anybody you know uses cannabis it will
pay to buy this book. Just think, a few bucks may be the best way to avoid
losing your freedom because you choose to empower yourself with the basic
knowledge surrounding a medicinal flowering plant that humans have used
historically for thousands or more years.
If
you travel from state to state keep a copy of this book with your highway map
because every time you cross a state line the laws change
dramatically.
Authored by West Hollywood
attorney Bruce M. Margolin, the Guide spells out in simple terms the legal
consequences facing people who choose to self administer medical marijuana and
under what circumstances California Law allows patients to legally possess, use
and transport the weed.
Luckily the acceptance
of this ancient cure for various medical conditions has been recognized as legal
in California, but not so fast: it's not time to light up yet. You first have to
obtain a physician's referral then obtain the medicine from a State of
California authorized distribution network.
A
growing number of patients are in compliance with California law and possess,
administer, transport and grow it with the blessing of the lawmakers and people
of California.
While the federal government
has not endorsed California law in this respect, it is clear the political wind
is changing rapidly at the national level with the swing of the political
pendulum in the November 06 elections.
Several
cities and counties including Los Angeles have also made possession of small
amounts of cannabis a low law enforcement
priority.
The bad news is the state, county,
and the federal government will still dish out the harshest of punishments to
those individuals who do not choose to empower themselves, and then employ their
new found legal knowledge to stay out of jail.
In the book the author outlines the primary
legal concepts in an easy to understand thirty-three page guide that costs about
as much as two cups of coffee at Starbucks. Ask yourself, what is your freedom
worth?
