deprave informs me that it is fully within my rights as a michigan patient to grow 154 plants at once and sell them. if that's true, i'm moving to michigan.

just need to make sure i'm allowed to grow and sell 154 plants first though.

YOU YOURSELF CAN HAVE 60 MAX

With two other caregivers who have 5 patients each yes, you could have 180 at one location but that is against federal law.

If you are a convicted felon you are not allowed to be a CG in MI, you can only a patient. The most you would be able to grow is 12 plants for yourself.

As for the legality of selling the plants, I am not sure, that is dipping into some grey water there.

Just out of curiosity, why are you so interested in selling plants? What stage of plant are you planning on selling?

He is trying to argue that Nobody has been convicted for marijuana who was state compliant following the holder memo, I gave him an example citing the case we had here in Michigan.

[h=2]Federal conviction shocks marijuana grower[/h]
Story by Ray Kisonas
Wednesday, May 2, 2012

A Summerfield Township man convicted in federal court of distributing marijuana says he was compliant under state laws and was shocked by the verdict and is planning to appeal.
Gerald Lee Duval Jr., 52, and his son, Jeremy, 30, face years in prison after their convictions on four felony charges in U.S. District Court. Mr. Duval told The Evening News that his case was the first of its kind because the family operation was legitimate under Michigan law.
The federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) was involved in the investigation, so the case was tried in federal court, which views marijuana as a schedule 1 controlled substance. There are no federal medicinal marijuana laws.
“This is a nightmare,” Mr. Duval said. “This is costing me everything I own. This is a complete nightmare.”
Mr. Duval says he has been targeted for years. He said he never was a distributor but his two adult children were legally licensed to sell marijuana to card-holders. His son, Jeremy, and daughter, Ashley, 27, were allowed to grow 72 plants each for their five patients. His daughter was never charged.
“I never distributed to anyone,” Mr. Duval said. “But I had a right to possess and grow 12 plants.”
Mr. Duval said two greenhouses on the family farm off Ida Center Rd. were compliant with state law. He said fences were installed around the greenhouses and the state-issued licenses were made visible.
“It was legal,” he said. “Michigan law says you can grow it, possess it and distribute it. We were 100 percent legal.”
However, a jury found the two guilty of conspiracy to manufacture more than 100 marijuana plants, manufacturing marijuana plants with intent to distribute and maintaining a place to distribute marijuana under federal law.
Rodel B. Babasa, special agent in charge at the DEA’s Toledo office, said the two had their day in court and were convicted by a jury.
“The record stands for itself,” Mr. Babasa said.
Mr. Duval, who is a convicted felon, faces 10 years in prison while his son could be sent away for five years, a possibility that he said was “scary.” Jeremy Duval’s attorney, Thomas Lavigne of Detroit, said he is appealing the verdicts and filing a motion to keep the men out of jail until the appeal is granted.
Mr. Lavigne, an expert on marijuana laws, said the case was the first of its kind because even when medicinal marijuana growers and suppliers are compliant with state law, they can be charged federally. The state had 200,000 card-carrying medicinal marijuana users and suppliers and anyone could be targeted, Mr. Lavigne said.
“It’s really one of those shell games,” he said. “That was the unique aspect of this case; they were convicted even though they were fully compliant under state law. We were shocked.”
Mr. Duval, who suffers from diabetes, said fighting the case has cost him the family farm and he has accrued $150,000 in attorney fees. He said he believed the operation was legal but he and his son now face prison because it was illegal under federal law.
“This is really a screwed-up law,” he said.

Am I the only person who realizes that as much as a state says it's legal.. IT'S NOT LEGAL? It nice that you think you can legally grow marijuana. You can't. Until it's federally changed marijuana is still illegal in all 50 states.

At any time they can swoop in and arrest you. Prove me wrong. Please.
