first, don't be a dumbass and think a waiver for 99 plants will save you from jail time (it wont especially with the feds!). and don't be so god damn greedy, there's no real reason to have that many plants to begin with. jail is full of people who thought they knew what the fuck they where doing. it's quite simple, 7 plants total per card per address, 3 in flower, 4 in veg and 1oz dried, that's it! the worst thing i've ever done is have 6 in flower and 1 in veg (mother plant) which still might get you thrown in jail, or at the very least a reason for them to yank your medical card.
whoa, no need to be offensive. I honestly think the rule shouldn't be so de-facto....i never said there was a legit reason for having 99 plants. Honestly I think however we should be allowed to have an allowance that's based on plant size and not numbers....i mean maybe a 4x4 tent full of plants no matter how many would be pretty reasonable for a single patient....and if you're filling a 4x4 tent with SOG that could mean somewhere in the vicinity of 20-30 plants....
you also have to figure what the patient is using the plants for....if they need the oil for cancer, there is absolutely no reason to limit # of plants / amounts....it takes far more plants to extract oil than to just smoke it...and cancer patients don't just smoke it...they NEED the oil.
I also believe that limiting the number of vegging plants is BS because they put clones in the same category as veg, and this is SOOO wrong...Most people who have been growing for years know that clone selection is very important...and if you can only have 1 or 2 clones at a time, you may end up without acceptable plants to put into flower when the time comes...and you may end up reducing the effectiveness of your strains FASTER because you cannot keep mothers and you cannot keep a selection of strains as easily either...4 veg = 2 mothers + 2 clones, 1 mother and 3 clones, or 3 strains and 1 clone....and you cannot have 4 mothers...and make even 1 clone because the clone will not be considered 'flowering' until it shows physical buds....this is absolutely ludacris.
can't forget that limiting veg plants does more harm than good...lets assume that it's okay to limit number of flowering plants....how does having 5x as many vegging plants as allowed for flowering make it any more 'harmful' to allow more production to 'sell'? You can't smoke vegging plants...and you still need to flower them before you can actually smoke them...it doesn't make any sense....the limit system was placed there by anti-marijuana nazi's who want to control YOUR choice.
