My question is regarding medicinal marijuana and the amount of plants you are allowed to grow. I know the state has set the standard at 12 immature and 6 mature, but the county has the authority to allow more if they choose. I have seen on a few different sites now that in San Diego you are allowed 25 plants. Can anybody confirm this for me? Thanks
At this point, it's all up to the cops/DA (Bonnie Dumass), and she's a bitch. There haven't really been many busts since the one in September regarding medical marijuana. The limit is a grey area, and basically my advice to you is to either keep it personal---no bigger 50 sqft----or get a few doctors recommendations from friends and be their caregiver---you are allowed more lenience in terms of quantities if you have multiple recs. There are no guidlines being strictly followed. What part of San Diego are you in? As long as you keep it clean, hidden (light leak, smell, water, noise...etc), you won't have any problems. If the cops come and you show them the rec (s), they will leave you alone (as long as shit looks legit). But the cops shouldn't show up in the first place if you are vigilant in your concealment. Hope this helps.
The limits in San Diego county have been the following, and are now #3.
1) 24 plants total
2) 6 mature plants, 12 immature
3) SB 420 was just shot down. No limits now

"People v. Kelly overturns SB 420 limits
"The California District Three Second Appellate Court on May 22, 2008 in the case of People v. Kelly ruled that the plant and processed leaf limits implemented by California Senate Bill 420 were an unconstitutional modification to California's Proposition 215 Compassionate Use Act (CUA). The CUA does not quantify the marijuana a patient may possess. Rather, the only "limit" on how much marijuana a person falling under the Act may possess is it must be for the patient's "personal medical purposes." On July 1, 2008 the California Attorney General filed for a review before the California Supreme Court. On January 21, 2010, the California Supreme Court unanimously ruled that SB 420 does in fact illegally amend Proposition 215 by defining the amount of medicine and plants that a patient may possess."
