I like the plant, don't like the news. I hate hearing about shitty legislation like this. I really hope it's not your last journal. Just subbed to this one. Don't give up hope
Doesn't some half-ass legalization kind of take the pressure off? In America are the cops really still working that hard to find small grow ops? Is this a stupid question? In Canada it's certainly illegal, but I don't hear of people doing jail time, and in general the cops have better things to do unless they're given a reason to go looking. Once there's some legalization, why would they waste time to run around trying to bust people who don't have the right licence or have a few too many plants?- it seems like there will be less of a black and white/good and bad situation where the plant is just outright Illegal. It's more of a grey area. And cops really go in for black and white
Dr. C I ran your take on this law past Dutty who agrees that it's terrible, and also said it's a felony if you grow more than your limit(!!!?). I'm sorry for all the people I read on the forum (mostly American, also British) who are worrying about prison time, and worksite drug testing. I live out of the way, but had never even heard about worksite drug testing before I joined this forum. Also, it does sound like Washington is one of the worst states in terms of police actively trying to pursue growers. Why???
It's safe for me to assume that a fair chunk of my life will be lived 'illegally' in the view of control freaks who want to have laws that enforce their own corporate interests. It doesn't bother me because I expect it. But I happen to be lucky enough to live in a place that isn't overrun by government and police, so if live by my own laws and standards of common sense I don't feel the need to bend over and get a barcode branded on my ass for monthly scanning. The less 'illegal' it gets though- the easier it is to function. And the less time 'the law' wants to waste on rules they can't enforce. Semi-legalization just opens the door for real legalization. It's predictable that they will try to grab as much control and power as possible, and then have to be beaten back a few notches by popular rebellion. I'm sorry you guys have to put up with this shit, but look how far things have progressed in the last few years.
Welcome back Doc, good to see the ladies looking good n healthy, sorry to hear about Washington St. 4 plants and 3 dry oz?? WTF, I guess the folks that make the laws don't know crap about what they are doing. Some things never change, politicians are a waste of good tax dollars sometimes. Hopefully the feds can step in and do something right for a change. When you see large corporations getting into the canna mix the laws will be changing to accommodate, keep ya heads up we're heading in the right direction but it may take a few more years. Gotta vote and keep in contact with your Reps. Canna is/will become mainstream eventually, our government wont stand in the way of progress, jobs & suffering forever!! Lets hope anyways.
Good to have ya back! Glad you had a great trip to AK.
Hello Doc and great update with news of your travels, although gutted to hear about this possibly being your last journal. I don't see why staying a member here at 420 puts you at any greater risk of being caught for anything and hope your understanding and knowledge really won't be lost. You've been a great source of information and help and I hope you find a way to somehow keep this going
I will relish my day in court over here should it ever unfortunately come my way. The GP and pain consultant recommended I try cannabis for neuropathic pain after plying me with legal opiates for five years. Having exhausted every avenue for legal prescription of Sativex after it was withdrawn, the police, judges and juries are now beginning to soften their stance on users caught with a reasonable amount for medication, although I fully sympathize with other users who are subject to workplace testing.
I'm well pissed to lose a good grower like yourself. I'm glad your ok and all as was getting a little concerned. Yet this news sucks ass! Get moved and happy and leagal my friend. I'm at work so can't go into great lengths here but damn Doc your family!!!
Well...Faaaaaaak!!!! Sad sad day...
Well Dr, pm me! Id def like to keep in touch after youre off bro! Youre a good dude and will be missed
Nice update Doc & take pride in being a law abiding citizen.
Really sorry to hear your news DrC! What a bummer!
I am a conspiracy theorist and have repeatedly said that I will never register with any government or body anywhere in the world re cannabis, cos my theory on this is simple. Having seen how much money there is to be made from MMJ medically and recreationally, it will eventually be legalised everywhere and the registers will be the easy way to hunt down the growers and users who are not buying from the government or Monsanto.
If you are not giving me the MMJ for free or subsidising me why the deuce do you need to know where I am.....
Okay breath Bapple.... Rant over....my smelling salts someone.....
What do wet ounces flash frozen constitute as, cause Doc, 3 zips is just not cool. I will help you move to Oregon in some way or another, gladly. I want to move there or northern Cali, too.. The more liberal zone..my goal is for Oct 1.. We are rooting for you and you should MSG me ur alias if you go elsewhere.. You are welcome to hang with us on RIU
Such a good read with great company
Aren't you allowed to grow in your front yard in Cali by law, as well as have six plants indoors.. Recreationally..
One could then, technically, have giant no till beds embedding giant 12 foot trees mained for 128 colas each..that's about 1500 colas if doing inside and out.
I would honesty, happily, split rent or pay the mortgage fees with anyone of Docs calibre and share a location even if it was just for 6 months of just one year. Oh man.
Can hardly wait..
If anyone has any tips for the Doc or I, please feel free ..thank you!!
I'd like to believe I am a law-abiding citizen as well. Just have some different laws in these parts.Hi Weaselcracker, I laugh every time I see your name lol!
I am so disappointed. This is actually the first grow I've had my tent and light. I bought all the equipment and everything just to grow for my patient, my sister in law, and myself. I'm so bummed. Now all my equipment will all be collecting dust until I move to OR. Unfortunately, that won't be till next year. My job goes through March 2016.
I so appreciate your concerns brother and yes, WA state is one place you do not want to F' around. The nature of my job (and my conscience) dictate that I live within the constraints of the law so this is my last grow. I also have a deal with mrscannabi that I will only grow within constraints of the law.
Have an awesome weekend WC!
