I can't edit my above post. Law says things must be locked and secure and not visable..that pertains to indoor. Then clearly then state "no plants can be outside." You can still get busted and fight out the interpetation in the courts.
I think they want it that way. They'll let us grow, but they'll make us pay for it at every possible instance, and they know they are working with language that is open to interpretation. It makes everyone happy. Those who champion the anti-pot legislation can sleep better knowing pot isn't grown outdoors *snort*, and those who know the law and know their rights and have paid their retainer will continue to do what they do, knowing they can fight it if they have to.
edit- (the edit feature times out after a bit)
Having g things locked up, secured a not viable pertain to indoors. The CO webpage clearly states ...no plants can be outdoors.
I think we are in total agreement, but I don't really give a fuck what they put on a website. County prosecutors and LEO are not going to use this web page as evidence to enforce, they are going to go by the letter of the law. I believe the state is being intentionally misleading by saying no outdoor plants, because that's simply not the case. At the end of the day the argument is not outside or not outside, it's what is considered a locked, enclosed area. MMED doesn't want their precious tax dollars to go away, so they say what they want to say, since they can't write the law themselves. Or something.
