daaaam!!! limited to 6 plants!!!! um, u have seen mine right?? 6 plants i'd be laughing till christmas time. i want to be a legal grower
you guys got it made and you are used to that feeling! i'm scared to let my stink out the front door!
I grow what I grow to stay within a budget, and must also work my grows to fit within the confining limits of living in a tiny apartment.
Because of the lack of room, the plants must be smaller, and because of limited mobility I also have to stay within the limits of my health problems.
Due to said health problems, I have no income to contribute, so my amazing wife is the one paying the bills.
As such, I do everything I can to not be a financial drag any more than I already am.
As for "legal", it only legal at the local and state levels.
At the Federal level, they can come in at any time, and I'd be fucked as anyone.
Add to that the fact that to be "legal" means my name and address are on a list held by The State of Oregon, which is subject to Federal scrutiny (as well as local and State law enforcement has the same access to the info and can carry out compliance checks at any time of the night or day. I live in Oregon's state capital city, so it's very conservative, and we have city police, county police, state police, and federal law enforcement in high ratios here).
And, if the wrong politicians get elected and the Feds decide to go after us growers, they have a long list of known growers to drop the hammer on right out of the starting gate.
Add to the fact that I'm only growing to ease pain & suffering from afflictions I wouldn't wish on my enemies.
It was much easier when I was
not listed on a State medical marijuana registry, and going about my life growing weed under the radar, invisible as I could manage, feeling cool and renegade again because I was putting one over on The Man by growing, smoking and sharing my herbs & seeds.
Who doesn't love that feeling?
So, I'd rather be "happy-go-lucky" like yourself, not be on a government list, and just grow what I wanted, for the pleasure of growing & smoking, and NOT have a terminal illness (and all the "joys" of treatments meant to keep me alive) and other health issues to worry about.
So, I do not "have it made".
