i live in il and we dont have mmj laws here it sucks. I would like to maybe go to a mmj state like MI and become a caregiver. can u grow 72 plants in mi? lets say you grow 72 plants at half pound a plant outdoor that be 36 LB at harvest time. can you get rid of all that pretty quick? like to a dispensory?

it be nice to go up there in spring and spend winter in il with 144,000 dollars.

Not gonna lie this got me laughing pretty hard.

How the fuck do you even get a random number like 144,000 dollars?

By not calculating the cost of grow equipment or rent?

Come on, think it through a little before asking lol... I mean do you even have the skill to get a half pound per plant? If so, and you actually plan on growing 72 plants, I hope you have a good amount of money saved up to pay the bills for 6 months+.. I mean I guess if you had a greenhouse or something but still, how do expect to just magically make money without spending any?

Like other people said, you won't get away with having 36 lbs at a time..

And my guess is if you're in it for the money, your quality will be shit so good luck get any money for it :)

Sorry I'm in a cranky mood, the Lions are doing what they do best..

lol i knew i would get thid kinda response. ok so i didnt calculate the expenses this isnt a well thought out idea. just an idea to throw to ppl who actualy live there and know the laws.

so you can grow 72 plants but cannot hold more then a couple lb dry bud? how the hell does that work. i know in some cali countys you can grow 99 plants and it seems like the harvest and sell it all.

spending the winter with bubba..... lol.....

There's a sticky with the law...

You can only posses 15oz max if you have the max amount of patients and are a patient yourself. You could have 72 plants.

Someone told me if its labeled as curing, that it doesn't count but I don't think I would breach the 15oz mark anyway, why chance it.

15 oz for you and 5 others is writen in the law. This law shouldn't lose you until our wonderful politicians get done amending the shit out of it the law was written so we could all understand it. Now some people like to say it's not a plant if its in the cloner or it's not pot because it's curing but if you're smart you stay under and assume the worst hope for the best. I can have 36 plants for me and mine so I count it in the cloner and everything. if it's in a jar I consider it dry product. I process trim leaves and shit right away so I don't have a sack of material that the dicks in L.E. can toss on the scale and bone me for being overweight. I mean....the OP....c'mon kid? you have GOT to be kidding me, I'm in IL and want to come to the Mitten to grow pot for a living is it cool to grow a few dozen pounds outside and sell it like corn and get rich? simply with one word....No.

so you can hold 15 oz at a time so lets say you have 2 rooms one for veg one for flower and u can get 15 oz per month at 250 per oz. thats 3750 per month if you dont smoke any. lets knock off 1000 for expenses you got 2750 per month. not rich but not bad. all you need is a full time job and a stay at home woman who knows how to cure dope.

i understand you think im stupid whatever i dont care to read the negativity maybe i was way off thinking i could make a 100k in MI i thinks its possable in cali. anyway how much are some of u caregivers making? some ppl seem to have this brain washed thinking like its bad to make money and oooo its bad to make money selling pot, well i dont think that way big pharma is far worse and they make billions im just trying eat well anf give the ppl what they want.

actually as it stands right now (as i just got done reading it all today),under section 333.26424 you are permitted the following:
(1) 2.5 ounces of usable marihuana for each qualifying patient to whom he or she is connected through the department's registration process; and
(2) for each registered qualifying patient who has specified that the primary caregiver will be allowed under state law to cultivate marihuana for the qualifying patient, 12 marihuana plants kept in an enclosed, locked facility; and
(3) any incidental amount of seeds, stalks, and unusable roots.

Also noting the word 'usable' is helpful as its defined in section 333.26423
(j) "Usable marihuana" means the dried leaves and flowers of the marihuana plant, and any mixture or preparation thereof, but does not include the seeds, stalks, and roots of the plant.

[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Translation: 2.5 Oz of usable Marihuana (marijuana) product and you can keep up to 12 plants to replenish that supply. Your waste, and seeds to not count and you can have as much of that laying around as you want/need. I have not been able to extract if they count the flowering plant into the 2.5 Oz but it appears to the letter of the law they can. I have read some that leads me to believe a non-flowering plant (mother plants) may not actually count towards the 12 plants (im not a lawyer so quote that as a proper interpretation) [/FONT]

[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Additionally dispensaries are not actually legal in Michigan, many counties seem to handle it their own way and choose to ignore them but nothing in the MMMA actually protects them[/FONT]

I'm pretty sure that refers to how much you can have in your car so to say. Being in a public space is what I was referring as "transport". This is simply an administration limit set by LARA, not the "law". The "law" gives you an affirmative defense and specifically does not mention any limits. If I were to flower a dozen plants personally in my home I would be breaking the law once I surpassed 6 grams per plant :-?

Yeah that's why the law is stupid as it is written. But the possession limit is 2.5oz per patient. In other words, when they search you you better not be over your limit, no matter where you are.

Interesting way to look at it, as i am just now getting familiar with the documents i will have to go back through with that in mind. however i feel there were a few placed where they stated the limits were for possession and not specifically transporting. I like your interpretation a lot better as i myself was trying to figure out how you manage staying under 2.5 oz with 12 plants lol

not to hijack the thread but when looking at some of the previous answers above and reading what i have over the last few days... are you allowed to be your own caregiver and provide for up to 5 others, or are you counted in the 5 total. seeing the numbers above it seems the former is the case.

Yep, that's why you'll here some refer to their 72 plant limit.
