They told me they will not arrest me if I show them my operation
And that was a lie.
Not this time, maybe. But it was definitely a lie.
I'm amazed that growers would not take the time to research their own rights as homeowners, then allow the authorities to lie/intimidate growers into a confession.
As a California card holder this is interesting to me for sure. My script allows the above quoted plant numbers however my wife was issued a rec for up to 99 mature plants. I would never dream of flowering 99 plants but at times i have that many clones/teens/moms on site but only for other patients of our state licensed collective and the collectives we trade goods and services with to help offset the costs of electricity and nutrients ect. I have 10 valid scripts posted at my grow and most are the 6/12 variety but a few are random plant counts. I guess what im getting at is that while our state voted mmj in 1996 we still have a shit ton of rules and regulations to deal with. It all varies from city to city as for now the state has left it up to individual municipalities to create their own regs. So while I can legally grow in my back yard my buddy in the city that borders mine cant. But hell he cant smoke a cigarette in a park in his city lolUnder the guidelines, qualified patients and/or their primary caregivers may possess no more than eight ounces of dried marijuana and/or six mature (or 12 immature) marijuana plants.
I was leaving so I opened the garage door so they surprised me and said if I dont let them in, they would be back with a warrant in 7 hours. They told me they will not arrest me if I show them my operation so I let them in.
As I posted above if it was that obvious to his neighbors he was growing it probably is to the police as well which would give them probable cause.
I am a small grower in Southern California Orange County area. I have four 600 watt lights with 36 plants total. Yesterday the local police dropped in and told me I need to downsize to the legal limit. They said they would give me a few days to do this. I have nosy neighbors and am not growing in the right location. The police informed me that the neighbors were the cause of the complaint. My Question is at the same time how many plants total can I have in Vegetative stage and how many I can have in flowering total??
The police did not arrest me. But will be back to see the downsize.
Personally I'd rather address them like a man and find out what the fuck they want, rather than hide like a little bitch and wonder for days if they're coming back or not.
