The California Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that nobody has the right to place limits on the amount of medicine being grown. I have spoken to officers from 4 different local police departments and they all said that they aren't going to mess with anyone for less than 99 plants. If they catch them selling to unlicensed patients, they will take action, but if you are growing for yourself and getting rid of the rest at a dispensary, they won't bother you. Even ehwen they conduct raids, if they think it's a medical grow, they try to save the plants so they don't get sued for their value when the courts say they are within their legal rights.
