Medical marijuana: How Much Is Enough?

The Seattle Times posted a story on their recent battle with the limits put on medical Marijuana users, for how much medicine they can possess.
Faced with a legislative mandate to spell out what constitutes a "60-day supply" by July 1, the department in February briefed Gov. Christine Gregoire's office on its recommendation: Patients or caregivers could possess up to 35 ounces of cultivated marijuana and be allowed a plant-growing area of 100 square feet.

Gregoire promptly directed Department of Health Secretary Mary Selecky to solicit more comment from law enforcement and medical providers. "I wouldn't say she was upset" by the amount, said Gregoire's spokesman, Pearse Edwards, but she believed input had been one-sided.
The amount of medicine is always going to be a point of contention for states with medical Marijuana laws, here in California, each county has a limit for dried and growing Marijuana. What am I allowed you ask? 3 pounds of dried medicine and 30 plants growing at my home or at a registered care giver's home.
