The 24 plant/1 oz. Rule

Enforcement usually doesn't start until around 4 ozs in your home. I know a ton of growers and none have been bothered. I fish with the Anchorage assistant DA and he hasn't filed charges on anyone for less that 1/4lb in their own home. It's definately a bizarre law but it is one that allows many of us to grow our own cannabis. If you aren't selling and aren't telling, there's no jailing.

Kenai gets busy in the summer for a couple of months. It's a great area to recreate. Good luck on your move.

That's about what I expected. I suppose if I just kept my growing to myself and my fiancé it wouldn't harm anyone. But it's still confusing to me in that 24 plants definitely yields way more than even 4 ounces. *scratches head* Thanks for the quick reply though

It's a pretty screwy law. There was a writeup about the law by UAA and it helped. The only folks who get busted are growing LOTS of marijuana and are usually busted by one of their customers getting questioned about possession. There are so few law enforcement officers in Alaska that the few here have better things to do than bother a personal use guy.

If you aren't turning major weight, don't be concerned. I have a bit over 4 oz in the house now and am not concerned in any way, shape, or form.

You are allowed 1 oz. cured and 6 plants LEGALLY by the current state law. That doesnt mean the feds cant kick your door down and bust you anyhow.

As for the 24 plants, thats for the cultivation charge. Anything greater than 24, goes to the federal level.

To be real honest with you, if you are smart and doing things right you should never HAVE To worry about the 24 plant law. Dont have idiots for friends, dont let friends over to your grow house. Dont grow in your own house do it somewhere else. If you get caught over 24, the feds seize your house. The #1 thing that gets people busted is peoples mouth's. NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW. SWIM has grown in places you'd never imagine possible, like a dorm room..... No one knew, no harm no foul.

Alaska's pot law is one of the most fucked up out there. Look at the medi card... oh heres a card, you can legally smoke but we wont allow depsensaries so you gotta grow it or buy off the street. Buying off the street, you are STILL commiting a crime.

Its better to just light one up, forget about the laws and stick to yourself.

I just follow the old law: Each person 18 years of age or older is allowed up to 4 oz.

Nice 'n easy.

The feds seem to be the only ones who bust people up here and the charges usually don't stick too heavily. Obama had said they wouldn't be enforcing this, but he lied. They make their sweeps up here about the same time every year.

Me, I'm trying to find a doctor who will prescribe in Alaska as I have not been able to work since "company policies" don't allow for it. Really sad since I work very well if I can just sleep past the pain at night (which is why I use it).

Anchorage Neighborhood Health Clinic DID NOT help me. They tell me to take Tylenol, but not too much as it will hurt my liver. Well, I'm afraid I'd have to hurt my liver and I'd still be feeling the pain.

No docs will prescribe here you can only get the paperwork for the card. I got mine thru www.thehealingcentermedicalclinic.org with dr. sean cardinal he comes to anchorage once a month. the number is 717-9966. The clinic runs out of a lawyers office in downtown anchorage. The office visit is 300 bucks if you have medical records and 375 if you don’t have any. You have to sign him over as your primary care doc and mail in the signed paperwork. The address is 733 W. 4th ste.308 in downtown anchorage.
my problem is now that I have the card I can’t find any meds can anyone please help?

Go to the "clinic" the doc from California puts on in Anchorage. Prepare to be raped money-wise. $325 with your records, $375 without records. He advertises here but the last advetised one was July 20. He claims he has "helped" get 700+ Alaskans their medical card.
