Michigan limits

So if I understand correctly, with a card you're allowed 12 plants and up to 2.5 ounces of smokable herb. This being the case, how do dispensaries get their smoke? Is it possible to grow (legally), and still be able to sell for profits to stores? I'm extremely interested in the possibility to grow professionally as either an extreme hobby, or for main income. Any information would be fantastic!
Thanks,
Wannasee

Edit - I'm confused on how you can have 12 plants, but only 2.5 ounces to smoke?

It's a mere question sir, I wouldn't think "bob" would mind me voicing my interest in possible profit of my time. I have a job, and would have a job if I moved, I'm merely doing research. I do appreciate your response regardless. Thank you for your input

Nope bob would hav a hissy fit u talk about profits like you time or effort are worth something.

Our law was written by morons who are opposed to marijuana in any form.

12 plants per 5 patients plus yourself is 72 plants. 2.5 Oz per patient plus yourself is 15 Oz. A Michigan pound. Is the total legal limit allows in your possession. Dried flowers

you can't sell your meds. you can have upto 12 plants, It is kind of set up so you can Harvest 2.5 oz plant ever month. you can't sell to stores or even your buddy s legaly. it is for your own medical use. Just like your pain pills you can only have so many, and you goto jail if you sell them

Thanks guys/gals, i'm looking general information :-P I'm not looking to go to jail, not looking to have anyone drop into a hissy fit, not actually looking to make profit, merely entertaining ideas peeps lol. I would like to grow my own medicine, having an option to sell my extra's to a shop seemed like a cool idea... I mean why not help others with my medicine? Sorry to ruffle so many feathers, for that was not my point. Chillax and have a few hits *cheers*

If someone puts in 40 hrs a week, you'd think that they'd have earned the right to survive off those efforts. ppl are uptight because legislators are soon to vote on amendments to our laws. Nobody really knows how this will untiminately effect the mmj program. When this law first started, the popo in certain counties were pissed and ignored the protections patients and CGs were supposed to now have. So this has led to a mistrustful environment. Hopefully this will improve with time and not degrade further. The context of the first few years (and possible changes) of all this is what you need to piece together to better understand attitudes and concerns.

Thanks for the input Abe, for I wasn't exactly sure how I had ruffled feathers so easily. I assure you folks I'm not some local idiot thinking of moving north to become some herb billionaire, merely trying to educate myself so I can make a good decision. I had read in a few places that Michigan's mj laws were under a bit of stress, and wasn't sure if anyone was able to further teach me in the michigan ways. I'm all ears fella's/gals if anyone has input in what they see happening in the future with Michigan. Ohio is so uptight, i'm merely looking to actually enjoy this life and not feel like a criminal.

nothing was really directed at you, even tho this is your thread, and no feathers were ruffled. Ppl here make inside references that you may not completely understand unless you have been here reading and participating in the covo for many many months. be patient and keep seeking, you'll find most of the answers you're after... but none if us really knows what's up till the phat bitch sings. things with the popo and ppl are mostly chill right now. It's this lull, or calm before the storm, that has me personally concerned. FYI a shit ton of raids have occurred in MI during the past few years... all since these new "legal" mmj methods appeared... imagine that.

That's what i've been reading Abe (the raids), and it concerns me that I would move my place of residence only to see the mj laws there go down the drain. I am very passionate about my beliefs and feelings... and i'm tired of FEELING like a criminal =)

The only feathers you would've ruffled were bobs lol.. I was just saying, the law is set up in a shitty way that doesn't allow for profiteering (legally) it is happening though on a large scale. Who in the hell can grow 1 plant alone and only end up with 2.5 (besides bob)? It's so hard to stay within the limits even a patient growing for themselves (me) are out of the rules at one point in time or another.

I just planted one seed awhile back, started it under 12/12 light in hopes of yielding under 2.5... it's going to be a 3ozer at least.. wtf does a guy do?

I would hang tight and see how the law changes over the next few months. There is a bill under consideration that would allow you to grow and sell herb to dispensaries with a "pharmaceutical grade" card.

In California you really dont turn over much of a profit if you are a vendor. You have to pay the board of equalization where you obtain your sellers permit. One year I donated to two clinics totally about $1,600 and the BOE took about $400 of it. On top of that you have to claim it on your state and federal tax income which can put you in a different tax bracket which it did to me. And some tax preparers will not work with you to try to claim materials used for your grow as a deduction because under Federal Law it is illegal. Last but not least there are some dispensaries just dont pay their tab on time experienced it once they eventually paid but was kind of nerve racking.

You can't profit from it, but if you make $100k a year doing it, I don't see anything illegal, and yes you can allow dispenrarys to donate you money for your product so you stay within the law, right now you can't be arrested, and being prosecuted so I don't see how you could get in trouble except riding with too much and getting pulled over, so maybe mutiple trips?

If you're making $100,000 a year growing in MI right now, you're definitely chancing being arrested at some point in time.
