Yup yup! The wording of the Act itself is somewhat of a letdown, but at least they are doing something. Says that patients can cultivate up to 6 plants....but get this..... only 12" tall and 12" diameter each plant. WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT......bonzai plants, seriously? I'm not sure if any of the other medical marijuana states have any kind of plant height limitation like this, but I forsee this being a problem. What's everybody's weigh in?

damn that sounds idiotic but you know what i feel like we need to get a foot in the door first and then once it's "legalized" the necessary changes can be made.

Homegrow is included that is the most important part of the law.The 12"X12" limit looks like Scrog is the way to go. Making Arkansas the Sea of Green state.Don't people who know anything about growing MJ.,write the laws or are they overruled by people who don't.Anyone know who did write the proposition.

I'm not sure who wrote it, but if they somehow get it passed, it will be the first deep south state to have medical marijuana in the "Bible Belt."

An alternative to "possibly" getting around that 12"x12" bullshit which is completely unrealistic , is building a stealth clothes dresser or armoire and growing your 6 plants out of sight and keeping quiet about it but still having your MMJ approval. It's what I'd go for anyway if I lived in Arkansas. I have feeling that if MMJ passes in Arkansas that 12"x12" wording will likely be re-worded for something more realistic. Example- 6 plant limit in a grow space no bigger than 3 feet x 3 feet for which those 6 plants cannot grow outside of. Now that would've been more realistic and reasonable with quite a few options of growing styles to choose from and getting respectable yields.

This is something like I'd recommend to Arkansas residents with MMJ passing there>

Grow your 6 plants in stealth and get the yield you need. Under that 12"x12" restriction with only 6 plants, 99% of all MMJ growers aren't going to abide by it anyway, so at least try growing stealth and keeping quiet about it. The worst case scenario about that might be having your 6 MMJ plants confiscated but not having to serve prison time for it. It's the best option until the state of Arkansas gets so many complaints about confiscated MMJ plants being "too big" and realizing that whoever worded that (12"x12") restriction didn't know squat about realistic marijuana cultivation.

I am not a lawyer, so I am not officially interpreting this future law for anyone. However if you read the language of the Arkansas Initiative, it states that a growing patient may have no more than 6 flowering, greater than 12"x12" plants. I know it is worded funny (as is most law), but I clearly read it as limiting the number of flowering plants that are greater than 12"x12" at six per patient.

If the Qualifying Patient lives more than five miles from a Nonprofit Dispensary, and has not specified that a Designated Caregiver or a Nonprofit Dispensary is allowed under state law to cultivate marijuana for the Qualifying Patient, and is in possession of not more than 6 flowering marijuana plants greater than 12 inches in height or diameter, which must be kept in an Enclosed, Locked Facility unless they are being transported because the Qualifying Patient is moving, or they are being transported to the Qualifying Patient's property.

Hmm...so you're saying you could have 99+ 12"x11" plants? It text does look like it says that, but that's one giant loophole if that's right.
