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?
