Newbie Questions?

[QuincyKat]

Hey everyone,

I have a couple of questions:

First one about yield: If a plant is rated at 400-500 grm/m squared (don't know how to do a superscript here) what does that mean? Does that mean for every square meter of plant I can expect 400-500 grms?

Second one is a legal question: I live in California in the country and have some land. I have a friend that lives in the nearby city and has no space to grow anything in his apartment, but he has his P215 med. recommendation. Can I grow on my property for him if I have his P215 on sight at my grow?

If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Kat

First question:

What your yield will be is completely dependent on your grow environment and strain characteristics. Provide the best environment you can and you'll do as well as the strain will allow.


Second question:

NO! Get your own prescription and grow within the confines of the law. Getting your own prescription is the only way to grow within the state of California and have it be legal from the states perspective.

It's also not hard to do. Get your own script.

When it says 400-500g/ms it's referring to a Sea of green and means in ideal conditions you could get 500g's for every 3'x3' area of plants.

Question 2. Yes, it us possible to become a CAREGIVER of someone and grow there plants for them. IDK how to become a caregiver because I don't live in Cali but I know it can be done

I believe there is a way to get a caregiver license and I think section e in the prop says that. I think you have to prove that you are caring for someone who is absolutely incapable of getting to the collective or taking their meds without aid. I knew someone who had a caregivers license but he was caring for a man with MS who could physically not lift a pipe to his mouth or even take pills without assistance, this was also five or so years ago. I would imagine it would be easier just to get your own medical license. Here is prop 215 in its whole copied and pasted from the NORML site. Hope this helps.

Health & Safety Code 11362.5 — Proposition 215


§11362.5. Use of marijuana for medical purposes.

(a) This section shall be known and may be cited as the Compassionate Use Act of 1996.

(b)(l) The people of the State of California hereby find and declare that the purposes of the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 are as follows:

(A) To ensure that seriously ill Californians have the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes where that medical use is deemed appropriate and has been recommended by a physician who has determined that the person's health would benefit from the use of marijuana in the treatment of cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity, glaucoma, arthritis, migraine, or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief.

(B) To ensure that patients and their primary care-givers who obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes upon the recommendation of a physician are not subject to criminal prosecution or sanction.

(C), To encourage the federal and state governments to implement a plan to provide for the safe and affordable distribution of marijuana to all patients in medical need of marijuana.

(2) Nothing in this section shall be construed to supersede legislation prohibiting persons from engaging in conduct that endangers others, nor to condone the diversion of marijuana for nonmedical purposes.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law: no physician in this state shall be punished, or denied any right or privilege, for having recommended marijuana to a patient for medical purposes.

(d) Section 11357, relating to the possession of marijuana, and Section 11358, relating to the cultivation of marijuana, shall not apply to a patient, or to a patient's primary caregiver, who possesses or cultivates marijuana for the personal medical purposes of the patient upon the written or oral recommendation or approval of a physician.

(e) For the purposes of this section, "primary care-giver" means the individual designated by the person exempted under this section who has consistently assumed responsibility for the housing, health, or safety of that person. (Added by 1996 initiative Measure Prop 215 §1, eff.: 11/6/96.)
