Maybe we just rename this thread to “Discussions of the law and enforcement practices in Virginia” and move it to the “Security” section?
Rarely do topics here focus on actual grows, or associated practices. -Just the rehashing law enforcement concerns.
FWIW - public means not private - your neighbors view in their “private property” shouldn’t matter as long as it’s not visible from a public roadway. -And yes - you must prevent access to the plants by minors.
Think like a lawyer. If it says from a “public way”, does that mean a if you live in a private neighborhood you can plant your shit in the front yard? It’s just vague enough to get you in trouble but also enough to get you out of trouble too. I would just use common sense.
You can also think like a cop. A cop can rip your plants out and say whatever he wants. Might not be legal for him to do that, but that’s for the courts to decide. All I know is my plants are now dead because me and this cop see the word “public” differently. (Hypothetical)
It’s a shit game but sometimes you gotta test the boundaries to see what happens.
Please excuse my ignorance of forum protocols. I’m fairly new here and this is the only social media I do so if my post is misplaced I hope moderators will move it.
Brother - pay me no mind. You’re fine. Post about topics that find your interest.
I’m just bitching because when I leave after reading through this thread I feel knotted up and worried….like the old days…. It shouldn’t be like this in a fully legal state.
We setup a date/place for OG to meet in July. If anyone else is interested, hit me up, we’ll add you to the ultra-exclusive VA Summer 23’ private message
