At 3:30 p.m. today, the Denver City Council will consider zoning language to limit the amount of medical marijuana grown in residential locations. Some advocates believe this measure would severely restrict the rights of MMJ caregivers in Denver -- among them Colorado Coalition for Patients and Caregivers' Robert Chase, who's shared his objections with city council. Not that he thinks his complaints will make any difference.

"They're well on their way to ramming it through," Chase feels.

The council member taking the lead on the MMJ change is Jeanne Robb, who told Westword last month that she "supported our regulations for the dispensary model in our commercial areas, and even in some of our mixed use areas, because I thought it would get the growing out of our residential areas -- and I think it's more appropriate to have it regulated in business areas than to have unregulated home grows in our residential areas."

Robb said she decided to act after dealing with a grow "just off 7th Avenue in our district. It had 68 plants, and it took me four to five months to finally get it moved out of a residential unit. I went to law enforcement, to the DA, to city attorneys, to building inspectors, and said, 'Why does it take us so long to enforce something that shouldn't be in our neighborhood?' And they said, 'Because everything is so unclear.' And I said, 'We need to have some limits.'"

​Amendment 20, the measure that legalized medical marijuana in Colorado, allows a caregiver to grow six plants per patient -- so Robb settled on a maximum of twelve plants per caregiver in residential areas. In her view, "that's pretty liberal, and it doesn't seem like a hardship," especially considering that larger grows "create mildew and odor for neighborhoods, and that can be a problem. Police have had seventy complaints from residential grows just since March.

Medical marijuana grow limits go before Denver City Council: MMJ advocate predicts fix is in - Denver News - The Latest Word
It seems as though a lot of legislation is being pushed through in several states that in all reality makes it so you can only grow enough for yourself. I've got a total of 13 plants right now. 4 being harvested in 1-2 weeks, 6 clones that I picked up last Tuesday, and 3 seedlings from bag seed. The bag seed is more for experimenting than anything else, but in Cali I'm WELL under the commonly accepted limit of 99 plants. The crazy thing is you can have 99 plants, but you aren't supposed to have more than 8 oz of dried, cured, smokable product. If I couldn't get more than 8 oz off 99 plants, I think I'd give up growing!imp:
