[dustin mullet]

I've heard that even with your home cultivation plant count you cant have over 2 ounces dried herb is this true? i would love to here all the cultivation rules/laws and resources showing where you got the info, thanks ahead of times fellow stoners

Google Colorado Amendment 64. You can keep all that you grow, no limits on weight, only limits on plant counts for rec growers. With medical cards you can get increased plant counts.

from Mr Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Amendment_64

Personal use
Adults 21 or older can grow up to three immature and three mature cannabis plants privately in a locked space, legally possess all cannabis from the plants they grow (as long as it stays where it was grown), legally possess up to one ounce of cannabis while traveling, and give as a gift up to one ounce to other citizens 21 years of age or older. Consumption is permitted in a manner similar to alcohol, with equivalent offenses proscribed for driving.
The new legislation does not apply to medical cannabis.[9]​

Regardless if you are growing medical or recreational you can keep what you grow at your home. The one oz rec and two oz med limit is apply to carrying outside your home.

64 (rec) and 20 (med) only protect you for 6 plants. Only three of which may be mature flowering plants. It is true that doctors can recommend higher plant counts, but a higher county rec does not protect you from prosecution for having over the six plant limit. You can raise affirmative defense, but you are not protected by law like you are for six.

Our Mmj laws are set to sunset this year and med laws are likely to be modified. Areas most mentioned for change seem to be a new requirement for caregiver registration, doctors who write high plant counts often, abuse of chronic pain as a reason for requesting cards, and I'm betting they raise taxes closer to rec levels as well.

I've heard that EPC basicly is done.

but I've also heard that rec protects you for 6 (3 flowering) and med protects an ADDITIONAL 6 (3 flowering)

I believe there is a cap of no more than 12 plants per residence, no matter how many people or patients.

Just in Denver and Denver County so far

Oh really? Can't grow in other counties? wait...what is EPC..?

 

[freddfish]

3 flowering and 3 immature sounds like personal consumption to me.

Kinda like the official rules for homebrew....you can legally brew about a sixpack a day.

Practically speaking though...I am thinking that as long as you aren't selling it, you'd be OK.

No, what he means is that in the city of Denver, and Denver county you are limited to 12 plants per house no matter how many adults live there.

Epc is extended plant count. Amendment 20 that establishes medical rules only cover 6 plants, but doctors can write a recommendation for more plants based on patient needs. Extended counts however are not protected the same way six are under amendment 20. Technically you can still be arrested for having more than six plants, but you may use the extended plant recommendation to raise an affirmative defense. Of coarse, by the time it gets to court you are in a world of suck anyway. Most officers from my understanding will not mess with you for having more than six if you have a Epc rec, and aren't selling.

Crackdowns are coming, we will just have to see how severe. It's no big secret that extended plant counts and the caregiver system are being abused to supply the black market. It's a shame that the greedy people in this world are screwing things up for the rest of us.

I wish they had clarified this when they passed 64. I've hears that you can grow both, that you can grow both but must keep them separate, that you have to separate rec plants per adult, and a few other things. As is now, Mmed offers no real clarification.

crackdowns are coming? what do you mean exactly? and i plan on moving to Colorado at the start of next year was wondering wheres the best place to live that isn't in the city but not to far away either and also a pretty chill town? and how do you go about getting genetics in Colorado do the med and rec dispensary's have beans?

Anywhere north of the city is good unless you count Five points.

 

[dbkick]

And ending EPC is a good idea. Also an EPC just isnt really needed unless you're extremely ill and doing the gram a dose bho to supposedly cure cancer.
There was one guy on here who turned his entire backyard into a huge sea of green with huge plants. He AND his girlfriend had a 48 plant count. This is fucking ridiculous and the reasoning behind no EPC. It was abused just to fuel the street supply.
If you have a plant count that large and are legit then my guess is you're too sick with whatever the fuck you got an EPC for.
I can understand a few more for certain medical cases but no-fucking-body but a dealer needs a 48 plant count and the odds of you AND your girlfriend needing the same 48 plant count is a joke. People like that ruin things for others trying to be legit.

guessing five points is a town? and how about getting genetics in colorado can you just walk into any med or rec dispensary and get beans?

 

[dbkick]

He ended up with cops, the city, the state and the rippers all over his ass.

If carded just hit the shops, clones are bigger than seed out here but some shops carry seed.

 

[dbkick]

One problem if you dont intend to buy a house is most leases have a no growing clause in them. Where some realtors specialize in properties with grow room included. There are also places you can rent space to grow.

hell yeah man thanks for the info ill be moving out there the first of next year and i don't want anyone on my ass, i think i am skillful enough to get all the meds i need off of 6 plants. no need for EPC for me. really bad muscle aches and joint pain for high school football and headaches daily from my astigmatism. the natural medicine works wonders for all my pain. cheers

I think they are going to try to crack down on high plant counts, caregivers, and possibly a few other things.

I haven't lived here real long, but any major city on the front range has smaller towns on the outskirts, within say a one hour drive. As far as chill towns, I haven't found one that wasn't pretty chill. There are areas that are more conservative, but none I've found so bad I wouldn't live there.

If it is weed you are in search of the Denver metro area or Boulder is the place to be. The further south you go the less options you have. El Paso county, in which Colorado Springs resides, does not allow retail sales and cities have opted out as well. Only retail shop in that area is Maggies in Manitou. The city of pueblo does not allow retail either, though Pueblo West has several stores. Quality in the Pueblo area can be less than impressive as well.

Seeds can be found at some, but not many rec and med shops. Most of the stores I have found that carry seeds are in the Denver area. Like bud, further south you go less selection. I live in Fremont county and the closest shop that carries seeds or "reasonably priced" clones is an hour away in the Springs, for a good selection I would have to go to Denver. If you know somebody that knows somebody that is your best way to get great genetics.
