Legal no, but it is Decriminalized in many places. What this means is for caring less than an ounce it is merely a ticket. Look at the map for further details.

The federal law says its illegal. There are numerous instances where medical marijuana clinics and people who use medical marijuana have been arrested by the federal government. Medical Marijuana is not legal on the federal level so it cannot be legal in any state.

Yes and no.
Several states (including California) have specific exemptions to the general laws for marijuana that is used pursuant to a medical prescription. In those states, you cannot be prosecuted under the STATE drug laws for possession or use that meets those requirements.
However, the federal govt does not allow any such exemptions, and you can still be prosecuted under FEDERAL laws, regardless of what the state allows.

California legalised it for medicinal purposes and some other state has also but dont remember where.
However it is still a federal crime so even though Cali says you can have it, you can still be charged in federal court

Why worry about the legal stuff?
Just blow your pot and get stupid any time you want. Just keep it away from my kids.
