In a landmark decision, the Court of Appeals held that in order to constitute “usable marijuana” under the MMMA the marijuana must be completely dried—not in various drying states. Additionally, the Court of Appeals also held that while marijuana plants must be kept in an enclosed, locked facility, the protection of the MMMA also extends to the time it takes to transport plants from the outside to the inside of the facility. The Court of Appeals’ decision in Manuel represents a commonsense, practical approach to medical marijuana that provides some much-needed guidance to medical marijuana patients and caregivers, attorneys, judges, and law enforcement officials.
