How do you count butter, Tincture, ect when making sure you are not over your limit?

How do you count butter, Tincture, etc when making sure you are not over your limit?

Also is it "legal" as far as the state is concerned to make hash, bho, tinctures or butter?

My Doc recommended that I try tincture but I don't want to get into some fuzzy area
of the law.

its a felony to make bho....(i have heard that a lot)

i wouldn't worry about anything oral ...(zing~!)
oh your talkin' cali right?
what county?

In Washington, its not illegal to make hash or tinctures or anything like that and I'm pretty sure but I don't think "processed thc" like hash, edibles, whatnot, even count toward your weight. But I could be wrong. I am a new WA patient as well so I'm trying to learn more of the ins and outs

Yea its all pretty weird. I`m sure they must have a rule or everyone would have 15lbs of hash
or some shit to game the system, lol Please let me know if you find anything out and I will do the same.
Hoping someone will just appear and enlighten us though.

Haha wouldn't that be nice. That kind of shit should come with your med card as a "welcome kit" haha
but for sure man I'll let ya know what I find out. I'd like to meet with a lawyer to reall ask some questions to see what's legal but I don't know any attorneys that are that down for the cause ha

No dick moves here. I`m trying to not do anything wrong which is why I asked. I appreciate the
fact that I can medicate so I`m respecting the local laws as best as one can with all the grey areas.

It is NOT a felony to make BHO in WA. It is not even illegal if you have an MMJ permit. STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION!

See below for correct answer.

We finally got "60 day supply" refined in to "24oz of useable cannabis". Useable cannabis is defined in the law as:
31) "Useable cannabis" means dried flowers of the Cannabis plant having a THC concentration greater than three-tenths of one percent. Useable cannabis excludes stems, stalks, leaves, seeds, and roots. For purposes of this subsection, "dried" means containing less than fifteen percent moisture content by weight. The term "useable cannabis" does not include cannabis products.

3) "Cannabis products" means products that contain cannabis or cannabis extracts, have a measurable THC concentration greater than three-tenths of one percent, and are intended for human consumption or application, including, but not limited to, edible products, tinctures, and lotions. The term "cannabis products" does not include useable cannabis. The definition of "cannabis products" as a measurement of THC concentration only applies to the provisions of this chapter and shall not be considered applicable to any criminal laws related to marijuana or cannabis.

There is the laws as they currently stand. So it is not "useable cannabis" by definition and falls under different rules. I guess I'll have to read some more to figure out what the hell this means....

Wow, Cool! WA has the fairest MMJ laws of any state. 15 plants and 24oz and infused products don't count towards that limit? I did not know that. Thanks for the clarification Doug.

Is there any way you can find the legal definition of "plant?"

How do u figure? No, it's not. Crazy how misinformation spreads like wildfire.

The question was in regards to state not federal so that may be where the confusion is coming from.

Here is the law. I found the definitions the most non-legalese. I wouldn't go so far as to say concentrates and infused edibles don't count. I have not found the section in here detailing how they deal with it. I do know (unfortunately) that there are very specific laws on how much extract(hash) is equal to how much processed(bud) to infused(edibles) for non medical mj. My worry would be if the medical mj laws don't address them we fall on non medical rules. The biggest problem we have right now is that our medical mj laws are only an "affirmative defense" for city, county, and state charges. That means they can bust you, uprooted your plants and take everything you have until you prove your deserving of your recommendation and are doing everything by the rules. No reimbursement even if you do get off. Ok, I'll put my soap box away. I will attach the whole law when I get home so I can.

20) "Plant" means an organism having at least three distinguishable and distinct leaves, each leaf being at least three centimeters in diameter, and a readily observable root formation consisting of at least two separate and distinct roots, each being at least two centimeters in length. Multiple stalks emanating from the same root ball or root system shall be considered part of the same single plant

That said, the chances of having your garden pulled, your equipment and whatever else taken as evidence or profits from drugs vary from town to town county to county and cop to cop if you stay in your numbers and amount. My experience is your chancees go up the more south and east you go. If you and your wife have 30 plants and 49(1 over) in tacoma you will most likely get a possession charge at most. If you and your 2 roomates live in the living room and the 3 bedrooms are filled with 45 flowering plants and there is 4.75 lbs, a scale, and 1500 on the table in Richland you are going to want a lawyer to prove your affirmative defense.
