The man doesn't know anything. Everyone in CO over 21 is allowed to grow 6 plants per person, up to 12 per residence. Now if you want to go over that, you have to get a med card from your doc with a higher prescribed plant count. I thought about doing that, but like you would rather not tell the man that I am growing, and I personally don't mind the 12 plant total. I have had a med card for almost 10 years here, but I just use it to get my stuff cheaper, and without the extra tax they add to the Rec sales. Also, if you are caught with more than 12 now, and up to like 30, I guess you pay a fine the first time. Not trying to sell you on CO, but CO people are some of the coolest, most laid back people I've known. I've lived in WA,CA,SD, and CO, and there is no way I would move out of here. Even our Cops are cool. I can't say that about the other states I've been through, or lived in. Anyways, I'm about 25 mins west of Denver, and the more you get out of the city the more affordable it is. Also, alot of people around this area have greenhouses to use the potent high altitude sun. Think about it, you would be welcomed here.
