Growing near school prop 215

kipdrordy21 · May 11, 2012

Does anyone know if it's to have a medical grow near a school? I know someone who is interested growing a 10x10 for himself or maybe 10x20 with his wife's card also. He lives about 300 feet from the school and his backyard where he plans to grow is not visible at all from the school. I checked the canorml site and it does not say anything about this besides dispensaries and collectives unable to operate within 600 ft of a school.

It should be aloud but smell could cause a serious problem. If I was said person I would have a nice sealed greenhouse with a big exhaust fan and carbon filter, it's expensive but not dealing with kids trying steal it and authority's catching wind of it is well worth it and you can make your money back fairly fast

No problems with smell. I'd imagine the wind will blow the smell away along with the fact they are located right near a pig ranch. Its a small elementary school and nobody would have a clue where the smell is coming from if worst comes to worst.

You can smell an outdoor grow from a quarter mile our more, on a day where the wind is right. My neighbor got checked out for complaints of the smell, and it was about half a mile from the area it was reported in. The cops just checked his paperwork, but they don't care in my town. So be warned, that shit is strong. He was growing trees though, so your mileage from this will vary.

The "Drug Free School Zones" were designed as penalty enhancements. As long as you are not violating state law, state law penalty enhancements dont apply. Step one toe out of line though, and "ZERO TOLERANCE" will put you in the slammer quicker than shit.

I would talk to the local sheriff and get his opinion (on tape) before i did anything inside 500 yards of a school. Also, if you have legal guns or a forgotten bottle of grandma's pain medication kickin around in your couch cushions from her visit last christmas, and they decide to be dicks you could be facing serious trouble, and even real buttslammin prison time.

do yourself a favour and get an opinion from the local sherrif, and get it on tape (secretly), and in writing if he is willing to do that

Tape a cop, Tell the sheriff about your grow plans??????????? :wall:

marc88101 · May 12, 2012

Please disreagrd that guys advise, your going to be fine!

keepitcoastal · May 12, 2012

Don't talk to a cop but assume everything he said is true and take all the right precautions with staying legal

Check local county law enforcement protocols and abide by them, coming to a dope forum and asking people you don't know isn't the best idea.
Call the court house in your county and ask over the phone and be honest,(don't stretch 300 feet to 1000 feet).
Stay within what they say and you'll be OK.

Great responses guys! I think he'll be fine. With nothing said in the county guidelines and never heard of any cases in this pot growing town, I doubt there is any restriction. This guys owns about a half acre and his backyard is away from the school without any visibility at all. The main concern is probably getting jacked by the neighbors lol.

Yes. Tape a cop. In California you can record any conversation to which you are a party, legally.

And no, dont tell him about your plans. ASK HIM HIS GUIDELINES FOR HIS DEPUTIES! This does not include discussing the 25 plants in the trunk of your car, or the 10 pounds of heroine your cousin is packing through customs in his anus.

Questions are not illegal. If you hold a medical cannabis card in California you have a RIGHT TO CULTIVATE and his guidelines will be the place to start. Just like asking about his rules for concealed carry permits, the sheriff makes the rules for the county's deputies, and is usually more approachable, sensible, and available for questions than the nearest big city Police Chief or your mayor.

If you start by asking, you will get either a negative response such as "we dont cotton to no dopeheads round here", a specific set of rules he has implemented for his county, or a "no controlling legal authority" response. If you get his opinion in writing you have a much better position in court, if he wont give his opinion in writing, then a tape of him sayin for example "you can grow whatever you want as long as you stay within SB 420" then you have a strong position if ever busted (if you stay within his guidelines of course)

I'm not sure my cousin could fit 10 pounds of heroin in his anal cavity. I will ask him though...

marc88101 · May 18, 2012

So I went ahead and asked my cousin if he could fit 10 pounds of heroin in said anus. He said he didn't think so.
