Police: Stolen pot was legal for its owner
A Newport Beach man who had 25 pounds of marijuana and marijuana plants stolen from his home earlier this month did have legal justification to keep them, police said.
The Spruce Avenue resident in Santa Ana Heights is protected under the California Department of Justice's legal guidelines for possessing and cultivating marijuana for medical use, said Lt. Bill Hartford.
"The individual had the appropriate issued medical marijuana paperwork and/or licensing for the amount of marijuana and marijuana plants that were in his possession," Hartford said.
The paperwork indicated he was operating a marijuana collective, police said.
The man was the victim of a daytime residential burglary Feb. 6, when thieves broke into his home and carried out boxes of the cultivated drug and plants. They were arrested shortly afterward in Santa Ana.
Police opened the boxes and discovered marijuana. When officers contacted the homeowner, he told them he was legally permitted to have it.
"If a person is acting as a primary caregiver to more than one patient, he or she may aggregate the possession and cultivation limits for each patient," the guidelines read. Under state law, a cultivator can possess up to 8 ounces of marijuana, and six mature or 12 immature plants per patient.
With criminal charges out of the question, Newport Beach city staff were initially reviewing possible civil action for violating federal and local land-use laws, said City Atty. David Hunt.
However, no further action would be needed, he said, after city officials inspected the home Thursday and said all the marijuana and tools to grow cannabis had been removed.

Civil actions are not criminal charges. They are talking about trying to slap a big ass fine on him for his land use I suspect 
But hey he was smart took down shop and he is free to do his thing somewhere else. This might actually be a happy story

We (the government) would like to throw you in prison for growing a psychedelic-like plant which works better than our pharmaceutical Heroin in alleviating suffering for you. Unfortunately we can't make you a criminal anymore by state-law for ingesting a psychedelic-like plant which many have found effective as a medicine for 3,000 years. We are afraid in your altered state of consciousness you may become aware of the scams and corruption which flows like water in a river in the United States Federal Government and question the very foundation and fundamentals of the western mind. We want you to be unaware of the ever increasingly deficit and debt which we are burdening you with while you are unable to see in the stupor of our pharmaceutical Heroin. We want you to be blind of what is really going on with the daily thoughts and values of material possessions, obsession with money to buy those material possessions. Because of this we are going to exhaust all our resources to make sure financially you go broke paying for our highly addicting and ineffective pharmaceutical Heroin rather then growing your very special plant. FUCK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!
