well im a brand new MMMP cardholer (this month) and im just delighted and feel privileged that i can do something legally now after all these years that i used to do under the radar. whatever the rules are, just follow them.. so what if you have a limit. one day it will all be completely legal.
all it seems you would have to do, if youre growing such a quantity, is take some of your income from it and re-invest it in some drywall and a door with a lock and just go ahead and comply with whatever the law is. this is what any legitimate small business owner has to do.. re-invest some business income into making they're operation more efficient, more profitable, and more compliant with local regulations. if you're growing for anyone other than your own needs, then you're no different from any small business owner, and not some "special case" just because it's the natural herb that all of us love. if you grew huge quantities of basil for sale as a business, there would also be regulations you would have to follow.
aren't we all just happy that a legal framework has finally been provided for all of us? and there will be more votes to come that will make it better and better. it reminds me of a post i JUST read elsewhere in this forum, strangely.. a guy that was bummed out that he keeps getting tickets for speeding, and then supporting posts by other people that seem to think speed limits are somehow ridiculous, or even unlawful. again, even driving is a priviledge.. you're hurling thousands of pounds of steel at speed.. thats above and beyond our inalienable rights as humans as stated in the US constitution.. or whatever is similar in other countries founding legal documents.
You can't follow rules or laws that law enforcement doesn't want to acknowlege and expect fair treatment just because that would be the right thing to do.
If you have any sense you will drop that I'm free attitude and protect yourself from leo. I've had my card since they started issuing them and seen and heard too much to believe the law is all you need to be safe from harrasment.
You can have 12 plants all day and leo will come up with a pair of scissors and 27 plants every time. Don't be lulled into a sense of security or superiorty - all you have now that you didn't have last week is a defense if you are lucky enough to get popped in a county that reconizes your right to use that defense. Many don't and there is nothing you can do to make it right now until the State Supreme Court hears some cases like Redden.
