MEDICINAL POT PATIENTS LIMITED TO 10 PLANTS A YEAR

The Berkeley City Council voted this week to adopt a more conservative 
version of a medicinal marijuana ordinance, dashing the hopes of activists 
who say the new law doesn't allow users to grow enough plants to soothe 
chronic health conditions.

The council on Tuesday voted 8-1 -- with Councilwoman Dona Spring 
dissenting -- to permit medicinal marijuana users to grow 10 plants per 
year. If grown outside, this would produce 2.5 pounds of dried marijuana 
and 1.5 pounds if grown indoors.
