Know about the History of Mineral Rights in Texas and California

The minerals beneath the surface of the property belongs to the land owner in all the states of USA. If the land owner owns the land in fee simple estate it means that along with the surface rights, the owner is also entitled to the sub surface rights and the air above the surface. There is a vast history about the minerals and its rights in the states of United States. To know about it, it is obvious to start with Texas.

Texas has immense mineral wealth when compared to all other states in US. When Texas was under the control of Spanish and Mexicans, the subsurface rights in Texas belonged to its land owners. But in 1837, a law was passed saying that no lands granted by the government shall be located on salt springs, gold or silver mines or any other minerals. After few years, in 1862 a dispute arose over the salt on which the government came to conclusion saying that the surface can be sold and the mineral rights should be kept with the owner.

Coming to the state of California, the U.S. Congress passed a California Land Act of 1851 which set up a commission to make decisions on private land claims. All the decisions made by the commission will be governed by the laws, usages, and customs of the government from which the claims derived. After so many years of court proceedings and introducing many acts the court finally came up saying that both the surface rights and sub surface rights belong to the owner of the land.

Nearly 1-1.5 million Americans are Legal Medical Marijuana Patients

Medical marijuana refers to the use of plant parts of a herb called cannabis, as a medicine or herbal therapy as recommended by a physician. From the same plant the marijuana drug is also derived and hence the use of medical marijuana is often controversial. Majority of governments do not recognize the use of these plant parts for medicinal use. However, other governments such as US allows its use in varying degrees for one or more disorders.

If we observe the statistics or the number of medical marijuana users alone in US, we will know the fact behind US government for allowing the use.

From the data collected by NORML from state medical marijuana registries and patient estimates between 1 – 1.5 million Americans are legally authorized by their state to use marijuana in United States. If we calculate by assuming the usage of one half to one gram of medical marijuana per patient per day it represents $2.3 to $6.2 billion dollar market annually.

Based on the same data, it is estimated that these legal marijuana users can posses 566-803 thousand pounds of legal usable marijuana, allowed under state laws of America. That means these patients are allowing to cultivate 17-24 million legal cannabis plants. Further if the limits in some states like California and New Mexico are exceeded with doctors permission, 1 million pounds of state legal cannabis are allowed under the law in America.
