We are discussing caregivers, why do you keep throwing in 'large scale illegal growers'?
In our example, we are discussing a medical marijuana issue with a gun issue. In my mind, since pot is still illegal at the federal level where guns are legal at a federal level, then the outrage at the 'auditors checking gun owners' doesn't quite fit. I'm not sure of a different analogy. That's where I was going when I said the 'auditors checking on gun owners' would be a larger crowd than the 'remove the 5 patient cap' crowd. Do you disagree?

In my opinion, a legal caregiver is 5 patients or less, 36 plants. Give or take I guess. I don't think our example of 'cops checking plant counts' or 'dept. of revenue auditors checking paperwork' really applies to legal caregivers. I don't believe cops would bother busting a legal grow. Now, how that cop decides how that grow is legal or not is beside the point. I am simply saying cops will leave the small guys alone and concentrate on the bigger cases.

That might not be correct. If the cops wanted to bust your grow or arrest you or question you or whatever, they can. I think in reality, the 'cops checking plant counts' will be happening with large scale grows, which are illegal post 1284/109, not small compliant grows. But that's in general, specific cases could easily be different.

Do you see why I don't use caregiver when I am discussing large scale grows, anything more than 36 plants?
