When I grow, I'll grow my plants, and probably for a couple friends who are also legitimate patients. I'm not going to fret too much over the intricacies of how many plants I have and all that. I'll stay under our combined limits. But I'm not going to be selling professionally. I'm not going to run a dispensary. So, really, are they going to come after me? It could happen--there are definitely circumstances where a neighbor complains or whatever. But are they going to convict me? In Denver? No way in hell. I'll take the chance. I won't go on the news or anything asking to get busted, and my feeling is that it is almost certain to not happen. But we'll see. Maybe I'll be writing to you all from federal prison in a couple years.
It's a multiple step process, they won't start with an arrest. From my understanding, a neighbor has to complain about something (usually smell) and then they'll send out an investigator. Usually these investigators don't have warrants and will simply ask you for a time to come back and look at everything. First penalty, I think, is a fine.

That being said, Denver is the last place I would grow as a caregiver. They've been clear they won't want people growing and selling in residential areas. The courts have been using Clendenin as precedent, which is awful for caregivers. Probably not worth it, but that depends on how interested you are in being compliant.
