no idea, not from cali..... but FDD is allowed 30 plants...... so i would assume that it is dependent on the city you live in, or county, whoever controls it out there.

The number of plants you can grow is dependant on the County set guidelines, and if there is no set guidelines it is 6 mature/12 immature.

Because you are in Oakland these would be your guidelines:
Indoors - 72 plants in maximum 32 sq. ft growing area. Outdoors - 20 plants, no area limit. Weight limit 3 lbs dried marijuana per patient. Collective gardens limited to 3 patients. Dispensaries serving four or more patients are allowed max. 6 mature and 12 immature plants and 1/2 pound per patient.

As far as selling to the club, I am sure that depends on the club, and you would probably have to bring a sample, and ask around for offers. Just know that when you start providing to clubs, you become a much higher profile target for DEA, so if anything try to remain anonymous.

:peace: out.

i live in SF and i have a 6 plant flowering and 12 in veg with my card. Most dispensary's welcome vendors you can call them and ask or just go in and speak with them. If you are peoples caregivers i am pretty sure that you can grow there limit of plants as well. Not super sure on that but i believe its right

GEEZ all these people think they know... well let me spell it out for you. Senate Bill 420 sets the State Guidelines, Also in s/b 420 it dictates that counties can set different limits but not less than SB 420. Senate Bill 420 states that you can have 6 mature and 12 immature plants and 1 mother. So in California if you are a Medical Patient those are you BASE guidelines. Each county can enact different laws pertaining to how many plants you can posses but they cannot make it lower than what SB 420 Mandates.

So check up on Norml.org for your county guidelines. And FYI counties that have no guidelines are expected to follow the State guidelines, but can generally base there limits off neighboring counties.

AMENDMENTS: Yes. Senate Bill 420, which was signed into law in October 2003 and took effect on January 1, 2004, imposes statewide guidelines outlining how much medicinal marijuana patients may grow and possess. Under the guidelines, qualified patients and/or their primary caregivers may possess no more than eight ounces of dried marijuana and/or six mature (or 12 immature) marijuana plants. However, S.B. 420 allows patients to possess larger amounts of marijuana when such quantities are recommended by a physician. The legislation also allows counties and municipalities to approve and/or maintain local ordinances permitting patients to possess larger quantities of medicinal pot than allowed under the new state guidelines.

Senate Bill 420 also mandates the California Department of State Health Services to establish a voluntary medicinal marijuana patient registry, and issue identification cards to qualified patients. To date, however, no such registry has been established.
Senate Bill 420 also grants implied legal protection to the state's medicinal marijuana dispensaries, stating, "Qualified patients, persons with valid identification cards, and the designated primary caregivers of qualified patients ... who associate within the state of California in order collectively or cooperatively to cultivate marijuana for medical purposes, shall not solely on the basis of that fact be subject to state criminal sanctions."

canorml.org has all the info but i am still confused of what people have been saying recently about the whole plant count limit unconstiitutional when it clearly states:
11362.77. (a) A qualified patient or primary caregiver may possess no more than eight ounces of dried marijuana per qualified patient. In addition, a qualified patient or primary caregiver may also maintain no more than six mature or 12 immature marijuana plants per qualified patient.

(b) If a qualified patient or primary caregiver has a doctor's recommendation that this quantity does not meet the qualified patient' s medical needs, the qualified patient or primary caregiver may possess an amount of marijuana consistent with the patient's needs.

(c) Counties and cities may retain or enact medical marijuana guidelines allowing qualified patients or primary caregivers to exceed the state limits set forth in subdivision (a).

(d) Only the dried mature processed flowers of female cannabis plant or the plant conversion shall be considered when determining allowable quantities of marijuana under this section.

SB 420 also allows counties and cities to establish higher - but now lower - guidelines if they so choose.

What might be standard in one part of the state or county might be different right around the corner so no one is wrong you need to check your area.:hump:

Uses the Rollitup profile
I was talking with the attorney for ASA last week, he said that while some of the verdict in People v Kelly is publishable, which means it can be used as precedent, he doesn't expect it to hold up to court scrutiny, so the precedent-setting part of the verdict will go away.

The bottom line is that the law says you can produce whatever amount is necessary for you, and while plant numbers and square footage are guidelines mostly for law enforcement, the actual amount you can have is what the DA will not prosecute you for having.

Here in San Diego, the DA has said he won't file charges for less than 100 plants. But naturally he has done it, because he's a liar. (that's how you get that job!)
