I need some help here please. This doctors reccomendation states that I am exempt from the LOCAL limits right? Or am I not understanding these words correctly?

It looks like it states the "limits law" and spells out in detail how I am EXEMPT from the limits.

Ughhh, PLEASE HELP

rule of thumb:
if you don't understand the question, you don't qualify.
like a job interview even...

it means that your local law limits are not applied to you, but the limits on your recommendation do, wherever you are throughout california you hold a higher limit than is enforced in your area.

your doctor cannot change the law.

the laws contain alot of grey area.

my doctor accidentally gave me the "up to 99 plants/over 8 0z dried" rec at first.

I called the county, asked if it was legit, they kindly informed me anything over 6 mature plants and 8 ozs is illegal. unless of course your sharing your living quarters with another patient.

Do you have faith that the (probably foreign) doctor knows best, even when they normally charge 100$ more for a bigger recommendation?

I will happily reside in the legal grey area, and not push my luck. People are sitting in jail for less nowadays.

I think you got your answer but i just thought I would put in my 2 cents.
The way i understand it is Limits are set by your county, if no limits are set by your county then it reverts back to the State limit.
In California about a year ago the limits were challenged in a court of law and it was found people grow plants to different sizes indoor vs outdoor for instance The size of the plants is directly related to yield. So the limits on the amount of plants didn't make sense and it was ruled you can grow as much as you need but 8oz is still the limit of dried flowers you can have.

That's the way I see it anyway.

The state gives a Default number which is 12/6 8oz dry. most county's use the state default for its " legal limits " then the city can add to that number. In Berkley and Oakland you are allowed far more plants then you can have in the rest of Alameda county. but in some cases the county will up the number as well like trinity, humbolt ect ect One thing i do wonder is for the area's who are allowed 99 plants... who can smoke all that? lol

california medical marijuana laws are a really big grey area but from what i was told by the sheriffs department last year when they came to check my compliance is that state wide in california the set limits are 12 immature plants and 6 mature plants with no more then 8 oz of dried flowers ... but each county has the right to regulate and set forth their own limits but they cannot be less then the set statewide limit.. hence some counties allowing higher plants numbers to all patients ... in SB 420 it states that you can posses or grow more then the set limits if your physician writes a recommendation saying so or if you can prove that you are growin an amount consistent with your medical needs .. basically what he was sayin in the end was that there are very few guidlines for them to follow so it becomes more of a judgement call on whether or not your in compliance with prop 215 if your over the 12 immature 6 mature 8oz dried limit ...i had 38 plants with 2 recommendations outdoors .. was able to prove i was compliant and was in actual need of the crop and that was that they took some pictures gave me a few security tips and left me be.. so i would just be safe and grow only what you can really lay claim to when they come knockin
