I am quite familiar with the Colorado mmj law. However, I have a simple question to which I have yet to hear a simple explanation:

The law allows a "patient" to possess/grow up to six plants, three in vegatative and three flowering at any given time.

The law also specifies a "patient" may possess only up to two ounces of usable medication. But, also, "... or, whatever the caregiver determines is medically necessary."

Now, I understand how the latter part can cover a "patient" legally if all of the proper paperwork is available.

But, my basic question is; say you're just a patient growing only two plants. You're using good quality, feminized seeds. You grow the plants correctly and they yield six ounces each. Aren't you already over the legal limit on possession? How is this legally remedied?

Sure, you should be allowed whatever your legal number of plants produce. But, how does the law in Colorado look at it? The actual law does not address yields on your six plants. It just says you can grow them.

Wouldn't each and every plant you grow, if done right, put you over the legal limit on possession? What if you're always harvesting a half-pound off two or so plants -- within the limit on plants -- but are also accumulating mmj that you also grew within the legal limit?

Seems that law enforcement and mmj patients both have an aspect of the law they can use and one cancels out the other.

Can anyone help address this issue for me? How is everyone else getting around this. I want to be absolutely sure I am within the confines of the law should I encounter law enforcement.

Thanks in advance.
