Medical pot patients protest caps on supply

Medical marijuana activists plan to pack a state Health Department hearing to protest limits on how much pot a patient can have.

OLYMPIA — Medical marijuana activists plan to pack a state Health Department hearing to protest limits on how much pot a patient can have.

They're upset with the state's proposed caps, which will define the amount of marijuana and plants that are considered a legal two-month supply under state law.

State officials once wanted to propose 35 ounces and 100 square feet of plant-growing area. But Gov. Christine Gregoire thought that was too high, and ordered the Health Department to meet with law enforcement.

Afterward, the proposed limits dropped to 24 ounces of usable pot, along with six mature plants and 18 immature plants. Those are the same limits used in Oregon.
