Cultivation and intent to sell in California - help!

First of all, I apologize because this is probably posted in the wrong place - but I really wanted advice from Californians only - because I think California is a "different" culture when it comes to mmj. I need help and advice. My family was recently in dire straights and unable to purchase food and pay our mortgage several months ago. It's a long story, but my husband is in a industry that is hurting badly, and he has not been making any money, and he is not very educated so he cannot find a job that will give him a comparable income. I recently found a job (thankfully), but because of that we were unable to qualify for food stamps. My husband knows someone who started growing and selling mmj, and I gave him the green light to go ahead and try it himself - but I was under the assumption that he was going to sell only to legal dispensaries, and to not tell a soul what is going on. The first grow turned out well, but it had some seeds in it, so the dispensaries would not take it- they did say it was a great first effort and to try again next time. We ended up selling to friends and acquaintances but after that he continues to grow and he has have been selling on craigslist.He stipulates that it is for donation and he does verify that the buyers are felllow mmj patients. We have 3 kids and the older 2 know what is going on. I am terrified that CPS will take my kids away, and I feel that it is only a matter of time before he gets busted and our home gets searched and our lives end up in even more turmoil. Sure, you may be able to use the prop 215 defense in court, but that doesn't stop you from being arrested, and your life is still a mess because you got arrested, your name is in the paper, etc.. We have other problems as well, but I think this is the final straw. He says he will not stop, because this is what is paying our bills. I don't care. I would rather move, but he says no. I am at my wits end. Every time there is a loud knock on the door I am afraid it is the police. My husband says I am being irrational. I don't have any friends or family I can talk to about this - I don't want anyone to know, I am ashamed. Someone please give me some advice, I am so stressed out. Has anyone had experience with this? Beyond the obvious problem of my husband being reckless here (or am I being irrational)- there's legal problems too - are people being busted from Craigslist? I have searched and searched and only found a couple stories, but there are hundreds and hundreds of people selling mmj on there.
Also, would you put up with this, or is it better to split up the family? - We have been together for 23 years, and like I said have 3 kids. Ugggg I just wish I had someone to talk to, that can see all sides of this story. Help!:roll:

times are tough. your husband is doing what he needs to do. i understand the fear. work towards making it safe. it is possible to get a 99 plant limit. help him to get this.

continue to try with dispensaries. you will get it. when that happens, the illicit sales can be eliminated.

do not break up your family. work together. make a plan. survive and prosper.

( i know, easier said than done. one step at a time. work on the 99 plant limit now.)

as long as he is checking patients permits and actually checking to see if the doctor on the medical rec. has his medical permit (you can find out if the doctors has his license at http://www2.mbc.ca.gov/LicenseLookupSystem/PhysicianSurgeon/Search.aspx ) he should fine BUT he REALLY SHOULD get at least business license (the business name and or the DBA (doing business as) don't have to give any what you are doing and you can do it online) and sellers permit and and actual State Medical Marijuana Card instead of just a doctors rec./card. There are a lot more people selling a lot more with a lot less paper work. A lot of small delivery services get buy with just those three. Think about it, clubs have store fronts, they are a lot easier to find but the have some paperwork.

What the hell is wrong with you? This woman has legitimate concerns, she's worried, she comes here looking for advice, and you call her a rat and tell her she's the reason people get busted. Fuck you, asshole. The reason people get busted is because they do stupid shit, like selling smoke on craigslist.

What puzzles me is from your other posts you seem to partake in the enjoyment of the herb. If you are willing to get high, is that ok with your kids around?

I understand your concerns and they are very legitimate. The Feds can come down hard if they desire. What you need to do is think a bit rationally and take a look at the big picture. Who are the ones getting arrested? How large is their grow? How large of a grow do you and your husband want to grow? Grow quality shit and don't sell on craigslst. More pool of sellers you have, higher chance of getting caught. Do not sell on consignment.

Realize that you will get a mixed bag of answers here. There are many that grow as a hobby. Some grow for medicine. Some for pure profit. It's up to you to take information in context and make your own decisions.

if your husband has a MEDICAL card you have nothing to worry about and yes you are being irrational.
yes you get arrested but its all cleared in court. if you dont have a card go get one stop being so paranoid.

You're as stupid as you are obnoxious. Do you drink a lot, or is that all you?

More worthless advice. Where the fuck are all you idiots coming from?

A doctor's note does not make it legal to sell weed on craigslist. None of you even look at each others notes, let alone verifying them. The cops know this, and people are getting popped for it.

WHADDAY LIKE 17 OR SOMETHING???
I didn't think they let juviniles on this site!! What a Dickwad!!

Lady, first of all, your concern for your family is legitamate and admirable. I hope the only reason your husband is stressing you out like this is out of desperation cuz it ain't right. Two yesses one no that's what I say about decisions about matters such as this.
Personally, I think your OK. If you had money to lawyer up if you had to, I know your OK. Doesn't sound like you do. Don't be ashamed of hard times. Lot's of people havin the same kinda problems.
DO NOT BREAK UP YOUR FAMILY Been there done that and it is the worst thing that will ever happen to you.. Word
