if you have a legitimate Doctor's Recommendation for the Medical Use of Marijuana, you are allowed to smoke it, and grow some for yourself ... some Counties allow for 6 adult plants, some for more, BUT, that was recently knocked down in court ... the CA State Prop. 215 did not specify amounts ... they're still fighting over it ... in general, if you stay within your county's plant-count, the locals will generally leave ya alone ... the Federal DEA, etc., will still bust yer ass, for any amount ... the DEA is 'mostly' concentrating on busting dispensaries and co-op type 'caregiver' grows, not small, legitimate grows ... :smokin:
