couple pounds for an entire year isnt anything at all, and the big thing that i think is stupid is that if you have under .5 acre you CANT grow at all, i dont have half a acre so i would be able to grow if i was in butte, so i understand how stupid that is that it just got passed.

you still arent seeing the fact that me my wife and mother n law are medical patients, legal under California state prop 215 and Sb 420 laws! i can and do grow medical marijuana for us for medical purposes, no i do not use an AK to mow people down! i specifically said i have non/ less lethal ammunition and also have pepper balls that i use (although i havent had to yet). and yes i will call the cops if someone comes into my backyard to try to rip off my medicine. them making this ordinance isnt going to stop the thieves! thats my point! its also not going to stop me from using my 2ND amendment right to protect myself with my firearms! and as for my mother n law she has spinal stenosis and scoliosis, wife has a pinched nerve in her shoulder from a car accident (severe pain), and i have very bad insomnia, been known to stay up for quite a few days (that was before i started using medical marijuana as my main medication)and asthma(yes vaporizing helps reduce the inflammation of the bronchiolar muscles) so yes 1-3lbs is not enough between the three of use for 1 year! understate law all these are legal ailments to use to use and grow medical marijuana for our personal use, but our county board feels otherwise.

I showed up. It still passed... My tiny 4x4' four plant garden is illegal in 30 days. What are the chances of another repeal?

thank you, especially if people are vaporizing which we all know takes up quite a bit, its definitly not snap bowls going in the vape, and then my wife whose using it in edibles so that takes up ounce at a time per batch of butter, and a mother n law who can smoke an 8th is a couple days, a pound in not shit at all!

all we can hope for is getting the 10,000 signatures so we can get the referendum and get the ordinance put on a voters ballet. that i think will put the ordinance off until it is voted on. i feel its very possible to get these signatures seeing that North Valley Holistic Health has like 5000 patients thats half the signatures right there! i will be going tomorrow to become a voters registarar and help with collecting these signatures! thats all we can hope for right now. and hope that when the board reviews it after the new year that they will make the ordinance more lenient once they realize that this complaint driven ordinance doesnt produce more complaints! thats what they are looking for complaints so it gives them a reason to use tax dollars to abate gardens. theres even a clause in the ordinance that says if someone does not comply and is not able to pay legal fees that the courts and force the property owner to sell thier home! NOW TELL ME IF THAT IS RIGHT!!!!
 
for every legit mmj patient theres 50 guys doin it for money prob. in addition to other crimes, so how would a non-grower, nonsmoker type feel about having a neighbor with pounds of pot growing next to them, again not sayin your wrong or whatever but there are other people out there who dont want their towns turning into stoner country, and when its all set and done and these new laws pass what are u gonna do? gotta pack up and go to a new county if its that major

Too bad school just got out. Going to really hurt how many signature you can get. Is there a particular city council member trying to take our rights away? I saw 3 proponents for this and thousands against it and yet it passed. Crazy shit.

The people doing it for money are already on 100+ acre parcels. This is helping the big guys by upping the limit from 6 to 99. This is hurting the tiny guys growing for themselves. Butte wants all medical pot sales to pass through a single dispensary so that they can have a heavier hand and more focused control on the local medication taxes. Force the home growers out so that big business can generate city taxes.

I'm all for city taxes but the government shouldn't take away what I can make myself just to force me to buy someone elses taxed product.

Im beginning to not like you stevie i think you do not belong in this forum! sure there are some people that are in it for the money and like gastanker put it thats where the county officials just handed mmj over too! they took it out of us small growers hands and gave it to the large growers that have lots of property!

lol why not they've been doin it for years and i wasnt even talking about big business growers, iam sayin nongrowers and smokers, yes they do exist, support these types of actions b/c they dont want weed and everything that comes with that in their town, and when you have the majority of people feeling this way its easy to oust growers, i do belong in this forum b/c my stance is all out legal, no restrictions and i think thats what growers big and small need to focus on and get out of this delusion that b/c u smoke your a terrible thug, but that will never happen b/c everyone wants to get paid

back to the task at hand!

so i heard there was an overwhelming turn out at the Elections office. So many people showed up that they had to cut the # of petitions back from 250 per person to 100. This is a great thing!!!
 
read thias ordinance VERY CAREFULLY!!! Chapter 34A-3, Medical Marijuana cultivation regulations definitions (d) "cultivation" means planting, growing, harvesting, drying, processing, or STORAGE of ONE or more marijuana plants or ANY PART THEREOF in any location, indoor or outdoor, including from within a FULLY ENCLOSED AND
SECURE BUILDING (like your house) is prohibited within the 1,000 ft. parameters of wherever juvenilles congragate. In plain english, it would be a violation of this ordinance to possess any of your medicine in any form if you live by a church, school, daycare home, park, bus stop, swingset, swimming pool, sidewalk where children by ice cream from the ice cream man, lemonade stand or treehouse. This goes WAY BEYOND your rights to grow your own medicine quietly and discreetly in your own backyard.

Wow... 95% of the patients I know literally need to move in order to still legally be MMJ patients. That's nuts. Has a county ever banned the use of any over the counter or prescription medications? I can pop a Vicodin a foot from the elementary school but I can't posses MMJ in my house?

sucks! Make way for Phillip Morris! Lets make sure broke people are forced to buy medicine at the pharmacist.

I can see this turning pitch fork and torches really fast.

What's the fine for refusing to follow ordinance? It's not a criminal offence, so ignore it while working to overturn such an invasion of PRIVACY and encroachment of PROPERTY RIGHTS.
