Yes, the number of plants do not tell the tale betwee a personal grower and a grower ffor profit. Square footage is the determining factor. patients should be allowed to do a small sea of green up to a certain number of square feet. Heck, a closet grower can easily supply himself ...but not with only four mature plants. A street dealer could reap a neat profit from four biggies grown outside in the Mesilla Valley. So the rules really dont make sense for the patient or the public.

Personally I am happy with four plants. Plenty for me and I appreciate the opportunity to grow it.

The producers should be allowed to grow as much as the fedeeral limit will allow. Indeed it needs to be more but for now the 95 plant limit is prudent. I like it because it fractionalizes the business up over many small growers rather than allowing the more resourceful gowers an advantage. Just about any person that wanted to apply for a producers licence could do it...now whether they would be a success or not that remains to be seen.

Incidentally, I have met another patient that is soon to be licenced to grow and we are kicking around the idea of a cooperative. If four people were allowed to grow together in one plot, a sea of green could be established that will produce constant and predictable harvests. The operation can be adjusted to fit about any rule that DOH currently has, and even expanded into a non profit 95 plant operation if backed by an appropriate amount of patients (and DOH approval). It would be a way for an organization of patients to be self sufficient and not duplicate resources.
bedrockbob Reviewed by bedrockbob on . Two Horses From a distance each horse looks like any other horse. But you stop your or are walking by you will notice something quite amazing...Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down but has made a good home for him. This alone is amazing.If you stand and listen , you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to the horse's Rating: 5
