That's fairly common in my experience and you want it to happen if you're caught with drugs. I mean, it's not like you were getting them back and anything the cop takes means less they can charge you with. Win win really.

Depends on the drug. Here, the cops will defend your marijuana and shrooms, and will return them to you if they're recovered from a criminal.

(C) Possession and Cultivation. A qualified patient or a person holding a valid identification card, or the designated primary caregiver of that qualified patient or person, may possess up to three pounds of dried cannabis bud or conversion per year. A qualified patient or a person holding a valid identification card, or the designated primary caregiver of that qualified patient or person, may cultivate cannabis in an amount not to exceed more than 100 square feet of total garden canopy, as measured by the combined vegetative growth area.

That's really cool, although why is the limit 3 lbs per year? You'd come up short if you smoke an oz a week.

That's oddly phrased. It's really a max of 3 pounds of dry buds at any one time. Or, Medical marijuana users can, with a doctor's recommendation, possess as much marijuana as their condition reasonably demands for medical purposes.

Without bothering to get a medical card, it reverts to the state max of 6 plants, and "28.5 grams of cannabis plant material (about an ounce) and 8 grams of concentrated cannabis."

Notably, they've taxed the legal marijuana industry so heavily that 80% is still blackmarket.

Haven't checked lately, but before legalization, marijuana was a $14 billion industry in California.

But back then pricing was $4800 to $6K per pound. Now it's as low as $750. (during outdoor harvest) to around $2500 for top shelf buds.

Where's the misconduct though?

About 10 years ago we sent our county sheriff to prison for this shit.
