The California Supreme Court today struck down the state's limits on how much medical marijuana a patient can possess, concluding that the restrictions imposed by the Legislature were an unconstitutional amendment of a 1996 voter-approved initiative.

This is good. Another point scored for individual liberties and freedom.

I wonder how many actually use it for "medical" purposes?

Rogue doctors and rogue patients are certainly a byproduct of this law. I don't see how it can be avoided. I've always wondered what controls are in place to ensure legitimate use. As with everything in California, nothing is legitimate. The idea just sounds good, so they do it.

It doesn't matter. It's about personal freedom and not having the government control everything that we do while they rape us for taxes.

All of this is just the first step to getting it completely legalized. In California is practically is legalized. It's incredibly easy to get a medical card and even if you get caught without one the penalties are nothing.

I agree. In a free country, the question should always be, "What harm will it cause if it is legalized?"

The vast majority of marijuana users don't cause any problems for society. It should be legal.

I would suggest that 100% of users use it for 'medical' purposes. What smoking pot did for me no doctor or psychiatrist could have done, although neither could have prescribed the weed.

Will this cause a pot-rush to California, like in the 60's?

Glad you feel that way. The same holds true for guns: The vast majority of gun owners don't cause any problems for society. We would be safer, with much less crime, if everyone were allowed to carry, either concealed or openly. Most people still wouldn't, of course, but some would... and the criminals wouldn't know which ones they were.

One difference between MJ and guns: The Constitution does NOT say that the right to get high shall not be infringed.
