That's all Prop 19 says about it!

My read: Each resident (or guest!) may have a maximum of 25 sq ft at each location.
No Jeff. Your interpretation is incorrect. Read it again.

It says "not more than twenty-five square feet per ... residence or .. the parcel". It can ONLY be cultivated by the "owner or lawful occupant .. resident or guest".

So, yes, if you have 40 acres and a half dozen wives and lovers living on the land - there can only exist a 25 sq ft plot.

I rececently went to a round table discussion with our local police chief, who is, BTW, a very enlightened man. He actually cooperates with local growers and distributors to help us comply with the law. He does not like the law, and says it is a bad law. It does not clarify or make our lives easier - it clouds and confuses and will spend years in court getting massaged into something useful and meaningful.

We are poking the Big Bear in the eye. Right now the Feds are leaving us alone for less than 100 plants. How will you like it if that changes? It can, you know. All it takes is the current White House resident to change his mind - or a new president to change the policy. The first thing that will happen is the Feds will sue California (just like they are doing to Arizona for trying to protect their citizens against illegal immigrants). In the meantime there will be arrests and defendants will spend lots of money defending themselves. Our Chief is hip to the intent of the law - but does not like it as written.

Do you really think, for example, that the Feds are going to let Oakland grow acres of indoor? Not a chance. They will bust that gig WIDE open - and it will attract a LOT of heat on us too.

The Medical Law is not changed by 19 - learn it, comply with it and everyone will be happy. Be flexible: watch the laws and the fist fight developing between the Feds and the States - and mind that you don't get caught in the middle of it unless you have hundreds of thousands in your "Legal Defense" fund.

Happy, happy, happy.

Now, back to trimming. Damn, I hate trim season.
