Do u know what though it does seem to be a lot of scare mongering on here it makes me wonder if they are just having a laugh i mean surely consideration would be taken for the fact its for personal use for migranes and sleep. I dont wanna pay into street prices and i wanna select the strains right for me not this psychoactive stuff on the streets. If the police were to confiscate these they wud be in turn creating more crime as i would have to buy from a dealer. They r so stupid here, if they legalise it ten ppl wont go to dealers
Probably true.
But understand; many of us here have seen a few more seasons than others - we're old (if that's offensive to you, then it's probably true!
.)
Google your local, county, state, federal laws ---
get to know them. Apply that to your country as necessary.
Are you the big fish, growing wise?
In my cousin's town (pop 1,200) - you just might be. He and one of his friends grew a couple plants every spring and were very popular in that dry, weedless place - I think he's indoor now.
In my neighborhood (SoCal) - you could ask a neighbor for help; about 1 in every 10 houses in my local has a grow going and a few ounces on hand. I'm actually meeting with 3 other guys on my block talking shop & help each other out. (So weird being legal...)
At the level you stated - 5-10 grams per plant X 3 plants
--- you just might hit an ounce; which seems to be a bench mark for dealing / distribution in most illegal places, and the limit for purchase in legal areas.
I don't know the laws in the UK. In '80s - '90s SoCal, more than an eighth, less than an ounce police encounters included:
Pipes, bongs, joints, cans destroyed - countless.
Officer laughed at my schwaggy, seedy bag, dumped it and stomped it out (I was a kid, cut me some slack!)
Officer threatened to jail me for my good bag - took it and didn't stomp it out....
Officer threw me in the back of the car for a few minutes, then "confiscated" my weed - a lot.
Many possession tickets (under an ounce) - about $150 each back then - I don't remember many of those being stomped out either...
Nights in jail - a few, more than I'm copping to here!
Face down on the ground with guns pointed my way - once. (had no idea my buddy had a lot of blow on him - really, he wasn't sharing!)
Interrogation room threats that you'll be an old man when you get out - a couple. (he wasn't sharing - none in my system!)
Nights in jail with a potential sentence over my head - 5+ a few hours. Always fun to be cut loose in downtown with no ride home at midnight.
Much over an ounce ---
As much as I fondly recollect trimming, crop sitting, brick weed and skunk of the '80s; I often leave out things like heading south on I-5 with 5 pounds of Skunk #1 in sealed buckets when a California Highway Patrol tailed me CLOSE for 7.63 miles while we were the only cars on the highway. Given the laws in the '80s, I'd probably have "only" got 10-25 YEARS (out in 5 or 6 with good behavior). I pulled over at the next gas station, threw up my guts & shook for 1/2 hour before getting back on the road.
---- How do I know the prison time schedule from back then? That's the sentence my friend got for the same weights I carried. He spent 6 years.
Those are large amounts - no claiming "personal" with two 5gal buckets of weed in the truck...
Hmmm, maybe gettin' old ain't so bad...
