California Health and Safety Code Section 11553

CA Health & Safety Code § 11553 (2017)  

The fact that a person is or has been, or is suspected of being, a user of cannabis is not alone sufficient grounds upon which to invoke Section 11551 or 11552.

This section shall not be construed to limit the discretion of a judge to invoke Section 11551 or 11552 if the court has reason to believe a person is or has been a user of narcotics or drugs other than cannabis.

(Amended by Stats. 2017, Ch. 27, Sec. 159. (SB 94) Effective June 27, 2017.)
