Sorry folks don't like the rule about records. Bottom line is those are the rules of the Act. I am not aware of a single person prosecuted for having a card on them, 12 plants in a secured/enclosed grow room, and less that 2.5 ounces. Nor am I aware of a single caregiver that grew as above for their 5 patients only and kept in their limits. The argument that the Act does not protect folks fully in compliance, as above, does not hold water. I've also seen court cases for successful section 8 defenses with the above folks that had a small error, like not having their card on them, or not having a fully secured/enclosed grow area. The card and the certification protected them.
