I left WA around 2018.
Back then they still allowed home grow and had a decent MMJ program.
Did they stop the MMJ homegrow too?
Im noticing most states are minimal to no hime grow but are allowing 15 or less for MMJ.
And it costs usually 200$ to get the med card. .so its turning into a tax stamp. Again.
Itās interesting you say thisā¦tax stamp on consumablesā¦to me that seems unconstitutional. There is a difference between a large farm with tax stamps and someone having to pay $200 a year to grow their homegrown. Unconstitutionalā¦or a violation of rights.
You need to read that again Joker. Itās changed somewhat with no notification to growers. No email, callā¦
It no longer specifies any rule about clones. Just height of plants and if they are in flower or not.
You canāt have six clones and six from seed in flower all at the same time now.
Rules
Consumer Personal Cultivation.
Individuals at least twenty-one years of age may obtain a consumer personal cultivation card from the department to cultivate up to six (6) flowering marijuana plants, six (6) nonflowering plants under 14 inches tall or more, and six (6) non flowering plants under 14 inches tall in a single enclosed locked facility. All consumer personal cultivation must take place at a private residence.
Two individuals who both hold valid consumer cultivation cards may cultivate their plants at one private residence provided they have both informed the department of this in their approved consumer personal cultivation application.
No more than twelve (12) flowering marijuana plants, twelve (12) nonflowering plants 14 inches tall or more, and twelve (12) nonflowering plants under 14 inches tall may be cultivated by consumers at a single private residence, regardless of the number of consumers who live at that private residence.
Plants and marijuana produced by the plants in excess of three (3) ounces must be kept at a private residence in an enclosed locked facility.
All cultivated flowering marijuana plants in the possession of a consumer shall be clearly labeled with the consumerās name.
A consumer personal cultivation identification card shall be valid for 12 months from its date of issuance and shall be renewable with the submittal of a renewal application.
I believe those are the new rules for rec users. Med patient cultivation rules didnāt change much with the passing of rec use in Missouri, notably our licenses will now be good for three years instead of one (like rec growers).
I think the verbiage about plant height was always there, but was loosely interpreted as 6 clones/seedlings, 6 in veg, 6 in flower.
Gotta remember that is per patient. You can cultivate for yourself and register to provide for two other patients, giving a total of 54 plants: 6x3 in each stage.
Licensed patients may obtain a patient cultivation card from the department to cultivate up to six (6) flowering marijuana plants, six (6) nonflowering plants under 14 inches tall or more, and six (6) non flowering plants under 14 inches tall in a single enclosed locked facility.
No more than twelve (12) flowering marijuana plants, twelve (12) nonflowering plants 14 inches tall or more, and twelve (12) nonflowering plants under 14 inches tall may be cultivated in a single enclosed, locked facility.
Under no circumstance will a qualifying patient be entitled to cultivate, or have cultivated on his or her behalf, more than six (6) flowering marijuana plants.
Only one individual in a patient-caregiver relationship may be authorized for cultivation on behalf of the qualifying patient.
All cultivated flowering marijuana plants in the possession of a qualifying patient shall be clearly labeled with the qualifying patientās name.
A patient cultivation identification card shall be valid as long as the qualifying patientās identification card is still valid, up to three years from its date of issuance.
The cultivation application fee will be the same for all cultivation applications no matter how much time remains on the validity of the patientās identification card.
The cultivation identification card shall be renewable by submitting a renewal patient cultivation application, as long as the individual has an approved renewal patient application.
Shared Cultivation Spaces
Per Article XIV, only two qualifying patients, who both hold valid qualifying patient cultivation identification cards, may cultivate marijuana plants in one cultivation space, for a total of 12 flowering plants.
You are right about the caregiver.
Primary Caregiver Cultivation
A primary caregiver may cultivate on behalf of more than one (1) qualifying patient and may utilize one or more enclosed locked facilities.
No primary caregiver cultivating marijuana for more than one qualifying patient may exceed a total of twenty-four (24) flowering plants, twenty-four (24) nonflowering plants 14 inches tall or more, and twenty-four (24) nonflowering plants under 14 inches tall.
Dang! Thatās a big change. I would have been illegal at some points last year. Youād think that since the state keeps a list of all cultivation licenses, that theyād send an email letting people knowā¦
Good thing I downsized at the beginning of the year. Iām back to growing everything in Octopots which take up more room (the Octo itself, plus the plants get HUGE!), so Iāll never approach 12 in flower. For veg numbers, I suppose I donāt need to keep so many moms around. I have an archival mindset and hate to let them go because of an arbitrary ruleā¦ At least my local crew all have copies, plus it gives me an excuse to grow more from seed.
I agree @BarefootAndBlazed . How hard would it be to send out an email and let us know. And of course āIgnorance of the law is no excuseā.
Itās like theyāre setting people up for a pop in check and then, āYouāre doneā.
There are 5 or 6 states about to legalize. As of today, about 1/2 of the entire country lives in legal (recreational) jurisdictions. As far as limits go, itās only a matter of time until they either change or until nobody gives a damn anymore. Legalization has been an incremental process. First came medical, and it wasnāt until 16 years later that any state went recreational. Now, ten years later, cannabis legalization is past critical mass; everything anyone does will only result in outright legalization. Whatās happening now is desensitization. Cannabis is legal and very common, and guess whatā¦the world didnāt end. In fact, arresting people for cannabis is testing the loyalty of many of the āBack The Blueā people. One agency has broken from its long-standing support of prohibition and suggested decriminalization of all drugs. Even some state and local jurisdictions have gone that far, and adopted a harm reduction strategy.
Times are changing, and as Iāve heard it put: āSail on the changing tide or be drowned by it.ā
Thatās the way I see it. Within two years, we will be able to have outside marijuana festivals across the country and nobody will think twice about it.
Yup, even here in Georgia itāll be like that. It already is in some places. I guarantee you a lot of jurisdictionsā policy is to completely ignore it whenever possible.
