So I just got my MMC but I didnt get anything from them that says anything about growing....or that I can grow... i have this blue certificate and it says the usual stuff...I wanted to post something in front of my plants this year to avoid any police trouble....should I jus post a copy of the MMC even though it says nothing about growing? and why didnt I recieve a garden certificate or sumthing?

Yeah all i got is a legal proof that a real doctor recommended me to use marijuana medicinally ,i beleive you are just supposed to put up some copys of your docs rx recommendation paper.I know that ppl around here with the same docs rx as me just post a copy of it with their name ,docs name ,etc....

so I shoudnt be all that worried? im gonna grow 12 plants because in california....my understanding is thats the limit...but ill jus put a copy of the whole license in front of the garden

yeah maybe print out the california state guidelines also, heres a website with it and its where i got the information below http://pcfrm.org/how_to_grow_pg3.php
