Okay, well, I don't think wanting higher recommendations is really a red flag or anything. It's actually pretty common and a lot of people do have higher recommendations. The law recognizes that the legal minimum does not meet some people's needs, either because they smoke a lot, or because they use edibles, or because they have an extremely limited space in which to grow indoors and want to do a micro SOG grow (my case, 6 sq ft), and California law makes allowances for it beyond the minimum of six plants. Just because some of you suckers aren't allowed to grow anything doesn't make me a "bad apple", but I guess the people who can't grow gotta get that post count up somehow so they look important, right?
