You will want to put copies of everyone's MMJ recommendation in your grow area. Make sure they are in plain sight where if someone were to see the plants (like a cop), the recommendations can't be missed. You'll all also want to make sure your have the original MMJ recommendation on hand if necessary. Even better if you have the state MMJ ID card.

Also make sure you make or buy a really good carbon filter to remove the smell. The general guidelines of prop215/sb420 is 6 mature OR 12 immature plants AND 8 oz of processed bud PER patient. Basically you and your friends would be forming a small co-op so make sure everyone understands what the limits are and to make claim on their stash. Everyone needs to understand the laws otherwise you risk getting screwed over if one or some of your buddies gets pressured into saying all of the MJ is yours. If that happens and the MJ exceeds your limits, you're gonna be hating life.

There is no clear definition regarding the 6 mature OR 12 immature so be careful with that. Does it mean you can have 5 mature and 6 immature? Who the heck knows, but with 4 people in there, I dont think you should have a problem meeting your needs without coming close to your combined limits.

Another thing, dont go testing your MMJ rights when it comes to the cops. Most cops are ignorant to the actual laws and will harrass and possibly confiscate your bud and detain you until they are corrected. In which case, you'll burn up a lot of time and possibly money to prove that they are wrong and you will get no compensation for their ignorance.

Make sure everyone knows not to allow any cops to enter the house. If one ever comes to the door, you step outside and close the door behind you so that they cannot screw you over with "probable cause" if they smell or see any MJ related stuff. Don't fall for the "if you don't have anything to hide, do you mind if I take a look around" trick. You have a right to your privacy and they cannot enter without a warrant or probable cause. Also do not allow anyone in who is or may be on probation. People on probation lose most of their privacy rights and may cause you problems if a parole officer comes looking for them at your place.
