I am trying to move to CA to get in on the action, first step?

I have been in NH for 22 years now and I am looking to move somewhere new. I figured I would give the west coast a try. All my life I have been told money doesn't grow on trees, my response to that is, well not in some states. I was looking for advice from experienced med growers, is it common that medical growing upsets landlords, and if so what is the solution to this. Any forum members that know anyone renting a small one family house would be excellent. I am also interested in doing a lot of outdoor considering how beautiful it is out there, so as far as medical care giving and being legit, should I technically own the land I'm growing on? I imagine so. I see videos such as this, Jorge Cervantes: Medical Marijuana Outdoor Gardens Tour - 10lb.+ MEGA Plants!! - YouTube, and I wonder what it takes to get to that position while abiding California state law. My whole life I have been told, "Do what you love." The government tells me what I love is illegal. Finding a job you love means you never have to work a day in your life.

I have a place to move in mind, I just don't want to upset the landlord. Anyone want to explain how they went about this?

Growing outside, You may want to contact the Emerald Triangle's OUTDOOR Growers Association. Look 'um up. The Grocery Workers Union is now ready and willing to enlist in California and a handful of other states with legal mmj laws.

However, my representatives assistant told me: "there is a federal prohibition." There is lots of work to be done. . .

[align=left][align=center] The California Supreme Court denied review yesterday of People v. Colvin. This ruling once and for all puts to rest the absurd claim by law enforcement opposed to Prop. 215 that mmj collective members are not required to help cultivate their medication. Many busts, especially in Los Angles and San Diego counties, were carried out claiming that these collectives violated SB 420 because all the members didnâ??t put their fingers in dirt, join hands and sing Kumbaya.[/align] Of equal importance the court held that â??collectives and cooperatives may cultivate and transport marijuana in aggregate amounts tied to its membership numbers." This had been a big bone of contention with one appellate court ruling that all cultivation had to take place under one roof essentially banning transportation and grows anywhere outside of the collective distribution center. This pretty much pulls the rug out from under that ridiculous decision. The decision also upheld the right of patients to purchase extracted or concentrated forms of medical marijuana which had also been hotly contested by anti-mmj forces. We are certainly on a roll now and we need to keep this going and you can be a big help in securing our next big victory. One of the primary reasons for the Sacramento trip last weekend was to lobby our state legislators on upcoming bills that would affect mmj patients. One of the most important is AB 2312. [align=center][/align] AB2312, modeled after the initiative petition that never made it to the ballot, has been introduced by our good friend and ally Assemblymember Tom Ammiano. This bill would clear up much of the confusion surrounding current laws (SB420, Prop 215) and would also further protect patients and dispensaries by issuing a statewide system to legally provide for and regulate the commercial distribution, production, and sales of marijuana for medical use. It is not perfect, but way better than the situation now and would provide for at least one storefront collective for every 50,000 people in a city or unincorporated county area.

[align=left][align=center] [align=left] Hundreds of patients and advocates visited every legislative office in the capitol on Monday so our state legislators are well aware of AB 2312. Now we need one final push to get this bill out of committee and onto the Assembly floor for a vote. We can do it, but you must act today. There are sixteen members of the Appropriations Committee and the more you can call the better. The only member associated with the Inland Empire area is Assemblyman Tim Donnelly who represents the High Desert area around Hesperia and down to the Redlands area. If you only have time to call a few, call Mr. Donnelly and the Chairman Fuentes and Assistant Chairwoman. Harkey. They are the first three on the list below. [align=center] Call them right now even if it is after 5 p.m. If no one answers you can leave a message on their voice mail.[/align] Hereâ??s a sample script. Use it or say whatever you want, but be sure and state very clearly that you are in support of AB2312 and you would like the Assembly member to vote for it. "I am a medical cannabis patient/supporter asking you to vote yes on AB 2312 in the Appropriations Committee this week. Sensible regulations reduce crime and complaints around medical cannabis. AB 2312 raises money and doesnâ??t cost any. Please support AB 2312. Thank You." Call as many of the names below as you can. Each call only takes a minute, but if you can only call a few, please call the first three. When you call Mr. Donnelly, be sure and let him know you live n the Inland Empire. Please take the time to do this today. Time is of the essence.

Thank you for your response, excellent information. Can I still call even if I am not a California resident, yet? Also I am having difficulty locating "The Grocery Workers Union" on the internet. Could you possibly provide a link?

Very True. If you love growing there are lots of things to grow out there. At this very moment there is a farmer growing plants to sustain your life and every other person.

As a Ca prop 213 supporter and patient, Farmer and Cultivator of my own medicines, herbs vegs and flowers. Ill say this there is no golden garden out here waiting for you. Its tricky and not only are there state, but also county and town laws to abide by. If the DEA thinks you are selling it Illegally they will come with time. They offer cash money to people money hungry in a sick economy.

There are tons of fail growers here. Most stuff is rampant with toxic unflushed plants and powder mildew. I seen a guy boasting up pm as crystals on the leaves,lol. Everyone wants to make a buck on it. If thats your drive then I say move deep in the woods and go nuts,lol. You don't need to move to CA for that. If you want a farm job and want to get a card and grow yourself,(statewide its 12 plants total with 2 in flower unless otherwise noted.) by all means your doing it right. If your looking to go big,,,Its competitive. Taking out of state? You're doomed its only time, The DEA is smart and watches you for a while. They will get your money and everything you own, even if you think youre in the guideline, it happens. I have a few friends that are not to well off from their mass growing of the MMJ on what they thought was a legal grow. Its the reason I am in a 3 person collective and have never thought about going big at all, I like growing any plant. So I grow more of the federally legal kind and dont have to burn my money at overpriced clubs on my medicine with a small legal garden.

But by all means come support us and the cause, we need truth and voters that are willing to move ahead, fer sure dude. haha

And growing and renting here is a huge no no. Most Apt/single family rental ads now days state No growing or drugs. People move here and ruin a home then get busted leaving the landlord with a PGE lawsuit for stolen power and repairs to the home.
