Buddy Ganja,
This is not at all an unfair question, and i wish most of your posts were similar to this one, as there are no accusations and a reasonable question. The answer is quite simple as well. In my reading of the law, it is my personal understanding that I can only sell to my 5 patients. And although "trades" are in a grey area, i feel like accepting a "donation" for your meds is sugarcoating a sale, which then isnt covered by the proposition because the patient/caregiver/dispensary isnt one of your 5. You can read it your way, and act as you feel the law allows but I feel like its pretty clear only only selling to 5 patients.
So.. before I even started i knew I wouldnt need to grow 60 plants (20 veg, 20 early flower, 20 finishing flower) with 8 week finishing ability. Like you said that is inflated and its basically overkill. So if we do the math, we are looking at 8 plants a month at 2 oz each. And i would disagree with you on the 3-4 oz per plant in my situation because I use seedlings mostly and only several clones, so in a month of veg they dont get very big, and it limits their ability to produce more than 2oz per plant.
8 plants x 2 oz = 16 oz
5 patients and myself x 2.5 (about)= 15oz
that looks about right to me... and one ounce left over to distribute for free to patients, monthly raffle, or make medibles/hash.
