	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2300, as amended, Wood. Medical marijuana.
   Existing law, the Medical Marijuana Program, requires the State
Department of Public Health to establish and maintain a voluntary
program for the issuance of identification cards to qualified
patients who satisfy specified requirements with respect to the use
of medical marijuana. Existing law provides that the Medical
Marijuana Program does not authorize a person with an identification
card to smoke medical marijuana under specified circumstances,
including in a location at which smoking is prohibited by law.
   This bill would also state that the Medical Marijuana Program does
not authorize the smoking of medical marijuana where smoking is
prohibited by a landlord, as specified.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
