@Mudminer - No, cultivation will be strictly commercial: "...the maximum number of producers that may be licensed in this state at any time, which number shall not be less than three nor more than ten producers; "
It's interesting, because in order to pass in CT, they pulled together an alliance of local farmers and pharmacists. This helped in two ways: first it gives the enterprise a sense of medical legitimacy (folks here look at Cali and shake their conservative heads), and it brings well moneyed lobbyists (pharmacies and farms) into the fold. When looking at politics, always follow the money.
The problem with the law is that it firms up prohibition, with only a narrow exception for medical reasons. Of course CT recently decriminalized possession of small amounts (up to a half-ounce), but getting caught for growing is serious: cultivation is equated with distribution, and the number of plants does not matter. Anything up to a kilo (even one plant) wins the grower up to 7 years in prison and a $25k fine-- plus the possibility of tax-stamps!
We can only hope that broader acceptance and use of the herb will result in less of a police priority in finding grows.
