I'm hoping WA updates their laws to include Rec homegrows, I just want 1 or 2 big ol outdoor plants lol
My wife is a mmj patient so we grow some indoors, it's just still to risky growing in the yard in town imo, until they make it legal for everybody

Two blocks from the cop shop, not a problem here...I'm also in Oregon, although at the other end of the state, Josephine County, the one with NO SHERIFF'S PATROL ANYWHERE in our county. FWIW, it's been more or less legal to grow here the past few years anyway. Last year in September, I was under a Level 1 Fire evacuation. Went to a meeting with ODF, various state & local officials, sheriff at the time, & other folks. Sheriff at the time said in response to a question. "We Don't Care what you have in your garden". New sheriff elected last November. He said at that time "The County doesn't have the money to pursue MJ investigations. We're not going to prosecute or investigate anything that will be legal next July 1st."
Tim Fox has explained our law, quite well I may add. 4 plants. 8 oz.. etc. etc., so I don't have anything to add to his explanation. I've been growing a few plants a year the past few years anyway, both indoors & out. If you act like you know what you're doing and act like you're supposed to be doing it, people just assume your paperwork is in order.
Yeah July 1 is a week away now. I've been smoking/vaping/eating cannabis since I was 16. I'll be 65 in a few weeks. So, for almost 50 years I've looked forward to the day MJ would be legal and now that it's finally almost here, I find I'm not getting too excited about it at all. I'm an old white guy, the cops don't hassle me at all.

i took about 25 years off smoking I like you am elderly , in my mid 50's ( occasional vacation to see friends in california and they would smoke me out, so maybe once a year if I was lucky), now with legal only 7 days away, the cops in clackamas and multnomah county stated they would not go after anything legal under measure 91, they said this about 3 or 4 months ago, the only problem is many jobs, are coming out with company memos telling their employees there will be random drug tests , and those compaines are telling thier employees that MJ is not allowed, even though legal , SOOOO you wont go to jail, but you can lose your job, what the fuck man, legal like booze is?,, legal like asperin?,, legal like caffine? legal like cigarettes?,,, how long is it going to take in legal states, those places are stating the fed law as a blanket response, so we need the feds to declassify it ,
even my own job has come out with the memo now, so I am going to buy some of that synthectic urine and carrry it around with me on the off chance i get blasted with the random drug pee test,, i hate having it hanging over my head, it has played a thummping on my mind the past week, so much so I have not smoked for a few days, not to clean out, just so the paranoid factor doesnt kick in,, MJ is suppose to be fun right, well there is part of me that just wants to go get a job at a gas station or mcdonalds so I can just relax about it, I will be silently waving my bag in the air next wednesday, I dont dare go to one of the celebrations in portland, as much as I want to, i just dont want to be caught on TV or someone to see me who dissaproves, even that part sucks GRRRR, I gave up drinking and smoking has made me such a better man, and yet there are employers out there are still in the stone age

Yeah, you've got a point. I'm self employed & have my own business and have for 25 years, so that kind of stuff doesn't even cross my mind. (You can work for me if you grow/use weed. Anything else and you're gone though.)
You say there are parties in rip city??? I'm looking for something along the lines of a Dead show. Shakedown Street in the middle of town. Hell, I'll drive up there for that. There's nothing like that going on in southern Oregon. I don't give a shit who sees me on TV. FWIW, they'll only show young people in dreads on TV anyway. The bastards never give up on the negative propaganda. They definitely won't talk to some old man who likes weed and has a business employing a half dozen folks.
Oh, Tim, and by the way.....I may be pushing 65 and have grand kids in their late teens & early 20's, but NO FUCKING WAY am I "elderly". (insert appropriate smiley thing here to indicate I'm not pissed off & am just being a smart ass)

Honestly.. its about the same.. They are working on getting the rules down for legal outlets..
Its been on the books for decades now that personal use is legal. 4 oz to 25 plants.
Oddly enough the new laws push legal personal cultivation to less.. like 6 plants..
