Yesterday, Washington's new official amount limits on medical marijuana went into effect. For people who have permission to use it, "too much" medical marijuana is now anything over a 60-day supply (defined as 24 ounces plus fifteen plants). KOMO's got the dirt; one particularly generous grower even let the camera crew film the 37 plants thriving in his Seattle basement.

After much discussion, a number of arrests and at least one gubernatorial freak out, the State Department of Health has defined what constitutes a 60-day supply of medical marijuana. As of November 1st, a patient prescribed medicinal marijuana in Washington can have up to 24 ounces of dried marijuana and 15 plants. We're glad a legal amount has officially been set by the state, but we wonder what will happen to medical marijuana patients who have been raided and their medicine taken during this drawn-out period of discussion. And whether local law enforcement and the federal government will respect the decision.
