actually as it stands right now (as i just got done reading it all today),under section 333.26424 you are permitted the following:
(1) 2.5 ounces of usable marihuana for each qualifying patient to whom he or she is connected through the department's registration process; and
(2) for each registered qualifying patient who has specified that the primary caregiver will be allowed under state law to cultivate marihuana for the qualifying patient, 12 marihuana plants kept in an enclosed, locked facility; and
(3) any incidental amount of seeds, stalks, and unusable roots.
Also noting the word 'usable' is helpful as its defined in section 333.26423
(j) "Usable marihuana" means the dried leaves and flowers of the marihuana plant, and any mixture or preparation thereof, but does not include the seeds, stalks, and roots of the plant.
[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Translation: 2.5 Oz of usable Marihuana (marijuana) product and you can keep up to 12 plants to replenish that supply. Your waste, and seeds to not count and you can have as much of that laying around as you want/need. I have not been able to extract if they count the flowering plant into the 2.5 Oz but it appears to the letter of the law they can. I have read some that leads me to believe a non-flowering plant (mother plants) may not actually count towards the 12 plants (im not a lawyer so quote that as a proper interpretation) [/FONT]
