Bob listen real close ok. If you or anyone ever admits to having overages then you are committing a felony. understand?
First of all, there is no admission in Hypothetical discussion. Hence no crime. I can talk about robbing a bank all I want..I just can't rob one.
Second, to avoid a discussion of overages, Completely defeats any distribution model. Markets or Dispensary have to have meds. Where do they come from? It's either overages, or state authorized farms...you pick.
SELLING overages is a crime. Getting caught with overages is a crime. But god man..I can tell you almost spot on, what my dry weight will be after the first few days of the drying process....as soon as its manicured and ready for paper bags, and it's nowhere near dry yet. I never have overages...in the current situation the only thing you can do is throw them away legally.
But if there were a legal outlet..they could certainly take the meds during the drying process.
The other concern is "how much overage are we talking about? I mean the courts (not the cops maybe) will acknowledge the difference between a guy that grew out 2 small plants for himself and had 3 oz dry when they got him, and a cg who had 3lbs of overages after his patients were taken care of.
