I think your confusing max.>>>>> with 15 plants...it is written that 15 plants is the base line for "ALL" qualifying patients with valid documentation...if a patient needs more than 15 plants or 24 oz. then under the WAC code an authorizing licensed person under the new additions(once griegiore signs it)may sign for more than the 15 plants...this will cause 1 of 2 things to occur if leo finds more than 15 plants.

1) They arrest you and pull "ALL" ur plants and a judge/jury will decide ur fate with what evidence you produce in court. IF YOU WIN, THEY OWE YOU 3 X $4,800 PER PLANT UNDER THE TRESPASS LAWS OF WA.(see the legal section forum). This could be a huge payday for anyone willing to tough it out.

2) Leo will pull anything over 15, not arrest you, take a sample, send a completed investigation to the prosecutor and you must sue them for damages (trespass to chattels) with reckless disregard for your safety/health. Abuse of discretion if you produce your authorization and the officer doesn't contact your dr. if you give consent too. Then fight the charges if ou get charged.

Of course our courts have yet too interpret this part of the act( steve sarich is working on this one and so is john worthington), it is contained in other cases which show this to be true.

So as long as your doctor authorizes more than 15, ur in the clear for using your AFF. DEF. your going too need to use anyway....so grow what you need and tell ur doctor how much that is that you find being a necessity.. it's that simple...KISS..KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID.

THCF is talking about oregon ONLY on the under a foot don't count..they don't count as adult mature plants for the 6 plant limit for mature plants. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TOO WASHINGTON STATE AT ALL.
