A Sacramento-based Third District Court of Appeals has overturned the 2017 conviction of five men who were caught with marijuana in their prison cells, after California passed Proposition 64 legalizing recreational use of the drug.

But that doesn’t mean inmates can light up joints while behind bars.

So the inmates can possess marijuana but not smoke or otherwise imbibe.

Only in california.

Give them all the drugs they want. Of every kind. Most powerful available. No limits. Lots of needles.

Why not throw in a trip to Tahiti while you’re at it?

Garbage in, garbage out.

[yldstrk]

I agree.

Coming Soon.. Fentanyl for everybody!!!

[gundog]

Hey, no more stuffing condoms full of weed in their asses. Just declare it when they book you. “ I needs to keep this wiff me so my little brother don’t smoke it whiles I’s wrongfully incarcerated.”

This makes absolutely no sense. They can’t possess tobacco (which also is not to be consumed in prison), as doing so warrants punishment, but they can possess cannabis?

I wonder when the majority of California will realize how backwards things are there as a result of their political choices?

[I want the USA back]

Vote, pot, sex, free legal help, free medical care, free dickchop/p*ssy construction. Better than having a job in high tax CA.

[OldNewYork]

Aren’t files and hacksaws legal too?

California the Granola State: What isn’t fruits or nuts is flakes.

[morphing libertarian]

no tobacco and no alcohol Why do judges need to have say in running a prison? there’s no civl right to have pot in prison

[NEMDF]

In most states, the departments of corrections and/or with the state legislature, determine what is allowed and what is “contraband” for possession by inmates in the prisons.

Generally, this would have NO relationship to what is “legal to possess” within the state.

It may be “legal” to possess many things in CA, but that shouldn’t mean you can avoid 60 days in solitary for doing so.

I guess they are limited to special brownies.

[zeugma]

The fact that they can’t keep drugs out of prisons is all the proof you need that the war on drugs is lost and needs to be abandoned. In a prison, they have more control of the population than the most totalitarian police state’s wet dream, yet drugs still make it in.

[ronnie raygun]

Its already done ask anyone working rikers island in NY the inmates smoke defiantly in front of officers and their superiors and nothing is done

[Jacquerie]

Agree, give ‘em grass, rolling paper and munchies. Have the guards light the joints and CA will be most mellow, violence free prison system in the US.

[NobleFree]

Legislators no longer know how to write legislation.

In his opinion, Presiding Justice Vance W. Raye said while state penal code prohibits smoking or eating marijuana while incarcerated it does not address possession.

I can’t believe a person like that holds office....
