Larry Teunissen was worried that the new city laws would make it impossible to grow medicinal marijuana in his back yard.
City leaders Tuesday assured those who are complying with Proposition 215 won’t be impacted with Manteca’s move to prohibit pot dispensaries from opening up within the city limits as well as rules designed to prevent medicinal marijuana growers form becoming victims of criminals when they grow their own pot.
The ordinance stipulates:
• only allow qualified patients, persons with medical identification cards, and primary caregivers to cultivate medical marijuana.
• such marijuana must be cultivated inside a secured, locked and fully enclosed structure that includes side walls, a ceiling, and roof. No outdoor cultivation will be permitted within the city limits.
• A maximum of 12 plants with a maximum of six mature plants will be allowed unless a collective cultivation is allowed under an extensive set of rules outlined in the ordinance including the concern being non-profit and not within 1,000 feet of any residential district, school, recreation center, or youth center.
• Smoking of medical marijuana will not be allowed any place smoking is prohibited by law, in or within 1,000 feet of the grounds of a school, youth center, or recreation center (unless the use is for medical purposes within a residence), on a school bus, or while in a motor vehicle or boat that is being operated.

CalaverasCannabis Note:
The California Supreme Court unanimous ruled People v. Kelly, striking down what it considered unconstitutional legislative limits on how much medical marijuana patients can possess and cultivate.
Obviously, Manteca's ordinances are likewise unconstitutional.
