California has definitely got the love. AZ is pretty much a racist state, that has elected officials, like our piece of shit governor Jan Brewer, who want to strike down Medical growers. As soon as dispensaries are allowed to open, most of the states population of patient card holders, will be felons if they grow their own medicine. There is a 25 mile exclusion zone around each and every dispensary (when they open) where it is illegal for patients to grow their own medicine. AZ is new on the medical scene. The states voters passed this law by a margin that was like .01% of the votes, seriously slim. In California, there are no limits for the amount of medicine a patient can possess or grow. The Cali supreme court ruled that any limits on patients were illegal. You just should stay below the 99 plant limit that will get you a federal mandatory 5 year minimum. If I had to move anywhere the state of Arizona would be my last choice. Yes I live here and moved from Cali to finish my degree here. I'm bumping my credit hours up to 21 this semester so I can leave ASAP. This state is seriously fucked. Though it is an extremely beautiful state with a lot of great people too. The laws are fucked up though and the amount of cops on the street is ridiculous. Look up AZ on the news, you will see a bunch of racist assholes that want to kick out Mexicans, get rid of any public health programs, get rid of all workers rights, charge taxpayers to build a multi billion dollar border fence inside of the one that the US govt is already building. This state is fucked and I cant wait to get back to Cali.
In Cali you could grow 99 plants smoke what you want and sell the rest to any dispensary. I just started a small grow for my own personal use. I have no time to grow to sell. If however some shit head is allowed to open one here in Flagstaff, then I would have to toss everything or risk prison. Personally I will do everything I can to make a dispensary that opens lose their license. They have no accountability and you have no way of knowing weather the fertilizers and pesticides they use on their plants are even approved for consumable crops. Most people I know who grow, use banned chemicals for their herb and they say its medicinal. Shit like Clonex, which is highly toxic and only meant for ornamentals, and other cloning compounds will give a patient cancer.
Im sure Im going to get flack from AZ peeps, for speaking the truth about this state, but whatever they can be jealous of California. Colorado rocks for growers btw. You get nice cool air, clean water, great laws and the chance for beautiful outdoor rec.
