I have a primary caregiver. He seems to be very uninformed of these new rules and regulations. He is most definitely compliant pre 1284, but since he's over 99 plants he's totally fucked after 1284 and 109 if he continues to grow this many plants.

I am concerned that if this guy gets busted for having a large grow, that I will somehow be affected. I am not interested in having my life interrupted like that.

Here is my question. Is there a resource, a news story, a how-to guide or something out there, that I can give to my primary caregiver so he knows how to remain compliant? I asked him recently if he was aware of the 5 patient cap, and he wasn't. He said he'd 'just go around that rule somehow'. That comment seems like he just doesn't have a clue.

I guess the only way we can see large scale grows is if those 5 patients and the caregiver have higher plant count recommendations? Is there a cap on the higher plant reco? 99? Could my caregiver grow for himself and 5 patients, if we assume everyone has the higher plant count? Is there a way to grow 99 plants for the 6 patients in this example?

Isn't that high plant count only a recommendation by the department of health? Isn't that stuff administered by the department of revenue? Why would a recommendation from the department of health be considered an affirmative defense?

I'm sure there are lots of creative things that growers will do to remain compliant with 1284 and 109, and I am curious about those too.

How is everyone staying compliant? I guess I could print out the actual legislation, but that's not really an option since they are so tough to read.

Any ideas?
I ran into someone today that said the language on the new clean up bill was posted today, have not seen it though.:thumbsup:
