The California Supreme Court has agreed to review a lower court decision that found state law improperly limits the amount of medical marijuana a patient can possess.

The case will test a 2003 law that shields doctor-approved pot users from arrest for possessing up to eight ounces of dried marijuana or growing six plants.

In May, a state appellate panel overturned the conviction of a Los Angeles County patient charged with possessing 12 ounces of pot and seven plants.

The panel found the 2003 law conflicted with Proposition 215, a 1996 voter-approved measure that legalized medical marijuana without setting specific limits.

Some medical marijuana advocates support the newer law, saying it merely provides guidelines to keep police from making unnecessary arrests.

No hearing date has been set.
