Garden looks unreal! So any resident of Mariposa county can grow up to 24 plants? If that's the case i need to buy some land ASAP
Here is my advise as a California attorney. The local law may reads as you say, 24 plants, but the state wide law allowing cannabis cultivation for medical uses says you may only grow as much as REASONABLY NEEDED for your own medical needs. Additionally some people have found success being "caretakers" and having permission to grow for others, but this is even very dicey. In my expierience if a DEA taskforce or even local sheriffs with a hardon wanted to they could arrest you even if you had other peoples permission as their caregiver and you would have to go to state court to prove you were growing for your own self or you were a caregiver. Even then they would attempt to send you to federal court where the penalty's are scary, and they will force you to plead out to cultivation, which is a felony.

Keep it reasonable, or it is just as illegal as it has always been boys, dont end up in jail because u think 24 plants yielding 100lb's is legal, it simply isnt.

Also i have seen many cases where local authorities inform on large medical grows to the DEA, thus they are basically enforcing federal law, which is against the law. Cops breaking the law, what a surprise. Circumstances like this are cases i would take pro-bono in so-cal just because it happens so much and is totally outrageous.

oh i couldnt agree with you more. The DEA has a 100% arbitrary outlook on cultivation. 99 plants = prison, but we all know that u can grow as much cannabis on 5 plants as u can 100 it makes no difference. This is why many state and city ordinances are going to a "canopy size" limit which makes a lot more sense. As of now the DEA is just keeping a strangle hold on cannabis as the states attempt to pry its fingers off, slow process.

So the recommendation for 150 plants won't count? Did California Supreme court ruled you can't put a limit to how many plants/medicine a patient needs here's the article http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jan/22/local/la-me-medical-marijuana22-2010jan22

That wasnt aimed towards you in particular just in general. Im not located within the US or anywhere near it. Plant counts are the most ignorant thing ever. Nobody tells me how many tomatoes I can grow and nobody tells me how much cannabis either.

I think the biggest problem they have is selling it to people who are not patients and of course tax collection....I don't know where this is all headed in the next 5-10 years.....I mean they could start zoning like they do bars and liquor stores.

Its reasonable need, that is what the law reads, if u reasonably need 150 plants so be it. But that is never the case, and no doctor can change the law. And Federal Law trumps all, and has a mandatory minimum sentence in federal prison for cultivation of more than 99 root systems. There is never any reason to grow more than 99 plants in one location. I am not legally allowed to instruct people on how to break the law, but if i were hypothetically growing a huge amount of weed id make sure to never have more than 99 root systems.

I havnt read that article but its from 2010 and i know the big case in SCOTUS was much more to do with states rights than anything about marijuana. The federal government has been crushing states rights for a long time, sad days in America.

I live in San Diego, and this has already been happening for years. Residential communities and cities ban the dispensaries and ban cultivation and there are huge legal disputes. Most dispensaries in San Diego are in college areas and commercial/industrial zones where no one lives nearby to complain.

My Sweet Purple strain was the first to flower and is much further along than the rest. Has that spicey smell to it that reminds me of some other purple strains that I've ran in the past(A GDP cutting I had back in 08'comes to mind). Not sure if I'm gonna be a fan or not... only one way to find out:bigjoint:image.png

@purplehays1 you are either in the wrong business as a lawyer or you are in the wrong place here....1 of the 2. In either case I think I'll choose to put you on the ignore list because you seem to be taking the gov't. line whether you are supposedly growing cannabis or not.
