I do only smoke a gram a day. Wouldn't need more than an oz per month. Why would a cg need to flower all 12 of my plants to get me my oz per month? I grow myself because I enjoy the hobby aspect of it. Not much work at all...45 min a day average maybe. Lots of days no work...manicure days lots of work. But no more than maybe 40 hours or so for a 8 week grow.
Great plants, some overage's, which I used to be able to trade to dispensaries legally.And yes, make a modest profit. Now the p2p ruling has changed that. Don't you see? I used to be fine...grew the strain I needed, was able to get my overages to other patients without being a cg. Now, I would be forced to break the law to get rid of overages. As are real caregivers, now that they can only supply their direct patients. Now I could become a cg, and I wouldn't need their plant count to supply some patients and myself. I'd stay with 12 and make free meds for myself and a small profit (assuming a small donation from my patients) But I live in a locality that has really wacky caregiver ordinances...Like getting a business license, having fire and electrical inspections..thing like that, that I really don't wish to deal with.
Of course, that's exactly what the cash cropping idiots wanted anyhow....since they knew they were working outside the intent of the law, they fucked it up for those of us working within the intent of the law. No greater risk for them, less competition, higher prices for the cash croppers.
You sound like you're all for the cash croppers...just sayin...
