legal question?-12 plants allowed?

[grobro]

if you tell your doc you must eat your medz he can up your plant limit to 12?
is this recognized as currently legal in CO?

ive heard of people getting 50+ plants perscribed.....BUT.....the law on the books is only 6.

its a defense in court, but who knows if it would hold up....I wouldnt want to be the first to find out.

just to support weekend my doctor put in my prescription that i required more plants but just how many was left up to my caregiver. supposedly i have 12 but who knows. someone is gonna go to court for it at some point and we'll get to see how well the vague doctor defense stands up.

which clinic?

I have a friend who is about to get his card looking for a >6 recommendation..

My lawyer told me that a doctor can recommend that you be able to grow whatever amount of plants that he thinks fit but the 3/3 rule that the state passed is still the law. The doctors recommendation is just that a recommendation and not a way to overrule state law.

With that being said if you were to be charged with growing 24 plants and you have a doctors recommendation that stated he thought 24 plants would cover your needs your pretty much guaranteed a not guilty outcome. From what I have heard the state wont even try prosecuting these types of cases any longer due to the fact that they are very hard or even impossible to get
convictions on.

The most important thing to remember is that 3/3 is a simple defense and anything more than that is an affirmative defense even with a docs recommendation.
