Hey all,
I'm a legal card holding patient in CA and am trying to understand the laws here. My county and city have no special guidelines, so the state ones are the ones to follow. The cops are notorious for raids and arrests while refusing to even allow people to show them cards. One fellow had his card taken with his personal possessions, locked up, then not allow to access the card to show the police. That's a mild story, compared to others I have met. Abuse is on both sides of they law!
The number of plants allowed is throwing me. Is it still 12 immature plants OR 6 mature? What is mature? I had thought the amount of plants was ruled out as unconstitutional, but find all sorts of conflicting info. Is the limit still there, or not? How in the world does one have mature plants to harvest without growing replacements at the same time, then sexing them before flowering?
I also thought the laws for outdoors were by garden size, but can't find info on that. How in the heck are people to follow laws written in legal jargon?!
According to other people I've spoken ,to worldwide, my own garden is considered small. One 2.5x5' flower tent with a set of veg shelves 2.5x1.5 feet. I also want to grow outside, like I did last year before attempting indoors. I haven't had a successful normal harvest yet. Even the 2 gals inside are approaching 90 days and not looking done. This has thrown my perpetual garden plan way off! Plan was 2 plants into flower each month, or 4-6 smaller in a SOG each month. I have only a few grams of dried bud in the house with stickers all over from the dispensary that sold them. $60 for an 1/8 is hard to pay.
I also want to give away extra seeds and plants, but read that even this is illegal?!?!!?!?! I can see how many people would get greedy and see dollar signs, but dangit, giving stuff away to another patient is wrong too? So is trading seeds or clones with other patients? I was hoping to donate plants and seeds to a dispensary or needy patient, if allowed. However, I would want those plants to be given or sold to someone in need. Fat chance on that.
Any advice is appreciated... It's hard to follow laws I can't interpret. :-(
TY!
