Yeah, but an affirmative defense only helps you once you get arrested and find your way to the courtroom. You have already lost at that point. Even if you win it has cost you dearly.

When I was a caregiver, i would not grow more than 6 per patient even if they had expanded recs. Law enforcement will go by 6. More than that and you and your high paid lawyer will pleading for your freedom in front of a judge.

Just my unsolicited $.02 worth. I tend to be pretty conservative when it comes to these laws... for good reason.
