Yesterday, in a short one-line decision, the Alaska Supreme Court denied the State's petition to review Noy v. State. Alaska's explicit constitutional right to privacy, as originally pronounced in the 1970s case> State v. Ravin, now protects the personal in-home use> of up to four ounces of marijuana by adults. The> State is now seeking a new case to prosecute where it can have an evidentiary hearing at the trial court to> show that the effects of marijuana are much different now than they were in the '70s. In addition, a citizen's initiative to explicitly legalize marijuana use and possession, beyond what's guaranteed by the right to privacy, will be on Alaska's ballot in November. If it passes, any test case will be moot.
