Within the last month, the governator has kinda touched up on caretaking leniency and it is basically requiring you to be able to prove that you are directly responsible for the sick person you are growing for and in no way are you than allowed to consume the percieved "drug"......for your problem, smoking is legit and will change the way you look at society and our corrupt ass government.
