California court: Prison pot is OK _ if inmates dont inhale
By DON THOMPSON
June 13, 2019
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) A California appeals court says its legal to have small amounts of marijuana in prison so long as inmates dont inhale.
The 3rd District Court of Appeal ruled that California voters legalized recreational possession of less than an ounce (28 grams) of cannabis in 2016, with no exception even for those behind bars.
But the court says state law does prohibit smoking weed in prison. Prison officials can also still punish pot possession as a rules violation.
According to the plain language of ... Proposition 64, possession of less than an ounce of cannabis in prison is no longer a felony, the court ruled Tuesday. Smoking or ingesting cannabis in prison remains a felony.
