If you opted for an edible license you can grow up to 35 plants.
This needs a bit of clarification:
The criminal EXCEPTION to the marijuana laws afforded by our constitution allow for only 6 plants and 2oz.
The AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE is allowed for plant counts over 6 and possession over 2oz but can require a court room to grant that defense.
There is a significant difference between showing your red card to an officer and him walking away, or getting arrested for felony cultivation/possession.
A felony will cost you $7,000 to $15,000+ to defend yourself... and you had better be able to prove a medical need for the additional plants in front of a jury.
Don't mean to be a downer, but understand what you are getting into when you go over 6. An edibles rec is not a golden ticket.
