This is the exact scenario that has me puzzled as well. Things seem very vague.

Pray you don't get raided. Keep a low profile. Never travel in a vehicle with more than 15 ounces.

Mark it as "curing" or "drying" "useable marijuana" as defined in prop 203 is only the "dried" flowers of the plant
How is a police officer going to tell if your weed is dry or not? He won't. you will have to fight it in court but if you have it labeled as drying or curing the judge would be pretty hard pressed to call you a liar.

Yeah I think storing somewhere safe away from everything else is the most plausible option. It is pretty bad when you harvest your first four plants and reach your limit. I am glad my harvest is at least staggered a little.

I would still mark your containers as curing or drying. The burden of proof is on the courts to say that its "useable marijuana" They would have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that that medicine is dried. What you have to worry about more is root balls seeds and dead plants as they WILL be counted as plants.
Judges are actual human beings You don't ever want to explain yourself to police just the judge. If the judge see's in the photos that the local pd took that your containers were labeled drying. They have to go back to the statute and read the definition of "useable marijuana" where in clearly says the "dried flowers" If the judge reads that and sees that the marijuana is not dry yet it can not be counted as "useable marijuana" Therefore they cannot count it towards your legal amount

Are you saying they will count seeds as a plant? The root balls I can see those dirty bastards as counting but not seeds.

They will I'm 100% sure of it. This state is fucking nuts.

Seedlings for certain they will count, but not seeds, that would be nuts. What if one plant goes hermie and ends up with 20 seeds, they can't count that as 21 plants.

Welcome to Arizona Home of the Cowboy crusaders brought to you via Good ole loving Sheriff Joe. They do count seeds its fucking insane but true. Their hope is they can bust enough people with loopholes like that to make the law look like shit and us like criminals.

According to AMMA seeds are not considered useable marijuana, for whatever its worth.

Useable marijuana is different from plants
Where can I go to view this information so I can get some clarification on the details of the law? Everything I have found seems to be some broad overview of the guidelines.

Smoke it... Why else do you grow?
Maybe give a fellow patient some... Then smoke some more... What ever you can produce is legal that simple (if authorized and not over plant limit)- it is considered "incidental" to your medical marijuana use. This was done because allowing a patient to grow 12 plants will make a patient over 2.5 oz within 2 weeks period would cause arbitrary arrests and violate privacy.
ARS 36-2801 (c)
Marijuana that is incidental to medical use, but is not usable marijuana as defined in this chapter, shall not be counted toward a qualifying patient's or designated caregiver's allowable amount of marijuana.
AzDHS website?
Bad place to look into the laws. (Great for the rules which are not the written law)
Go here for the written law - Arizona Medical Marijuana Act Aka Arizona Revised Statue Title 36 Chapter 28.1
http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ArizonaRevisedStatutes.asp?Title=36 (Scroll down to Chapter 28.1 - AMMA)
Really? What I am looking for is the information where it stated seeds counted as plants.

I swear to god.
15. "USABLE MARIJUANA" MEANS THE DRIED FLOWERS OF THE MARIJUANA PLANT, AND ANY MIXTURE OR PREPARATION THEREOF, BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SEEDS, STALKS AND ROOTS OF THE PLANT AND DOES NOT INCLUDE THE WEIGHT OF ANY NON-MARIJUANA INGREDIENTS COMBINED WITH MARIJUANA AND PREPARED FOR CONSUMPTION AS FOOD OR DRINK.

"stated seeds counted as plants" does not exist because a fuckin plant is a plant and a seed is a seed.
gkaz not calling you out personally just stating that this topic is lame!

Try telling that to The state. As ludicrous as it is thats the way the law is written here go look it up on dhs website. I wouldn't spread misinformation or talk out of my ass this much If I wasn't 9,000,000,000% sure thats the case I just don't want to see anyone get arrested because they were provided with false information. I don't need to lie on the computer to make myself feel good.
