    Default Do the local cops have to know?

    Does anyone know if in Mass if you are a caregiver or if you are growing for yourself until the dispensaries are open do the local police have to be informed of your grow? Are they doing inspections too?

    I have heard that in some states the police come over and do an inspection to make sure you are following the guidelines set by the state.

    Wow, I'm surprised no one knows the answer to this or won't comment.

    really? I could see that for caregivers...but just patients too? yikes...i would think the police have more important thing to worry about, depending on where you live ofcourse.

    I'd hope it would be at the patient/caregiver's discretion to notify or not

    THe police are not allowed to search as long as you can produce your doctor's recomendation... although if the police have a warrent or can see more than a 60 day supply they are allowed to search and potentially confiscate.

    Federal agents on the other hand are a different story.... because it is still a federal crime they can search

    Nothing in place yet. LEO does not have to be informed.

    How would a police officer know what a 60day supply for one of your patients looks like? I have a patient that goes through an oz a week. There are no regs in place for law enforcement in MA regarding legal grows. Anything posted here is speculation

    Like the man said- there isn't even a clear law on the books yet....
    IF they are like most Laws, you only have to be licensed.. with your grow in a locked facility than NO ONE may enter unless they themselves are a licensed patient or caregiver.
    And you need to keep not only your license, but also your papers available... but you do not EVER call and tell the Cops you are growing... otherwise You've admitted to a FEDERAL offense and they are obliged to report it... State Laws be damned.

    No one will bother you as long as you do not tell people you are growing, and the only people who know are you and your patient(s)... period. No Parties where you grow... not a lot of in-and-out traffic... or they can come and search.

    IF anyone tries to search- ask for a warrent signed by a judge.. not just a basic warrant. If it not signed, and you are licensed, they have no right to search.

    It's not a "weed"- it's a cultivated herb- treat it right and reap its rewards- neglect it, then it's "weed".
    Back off! I have flying monkeys, and I'm not afraid to use them!
