Im a med patient in sutter co. and I desperately need to grow at least 3 lbs this year. As of yet I have no place to grow. My back yard is huge and gets direct sunlight from morning till sunset but I had a problem last year growing. I had 12 plants in my backyard last spring but the weird christian hippy woman next door ontacted century 21 who in turn contacted the land lord who said there was no outdoor growing on the property. Is there anything I can do about this? One cultivator I know said to do it anyway and sue him if he says I cant because Im disabled and indigent. My indoor is taking a shit on me and I really want a break from it.

i'm pretty sure the landlord has the right to landscape policies... but i don't think you are allowed to be in possession of 3 lbs even as a patient...

I think he said three pounds for the year. That doesn't sound unreasonable. Also, California's supreme court has ruled that the law cannot say how much medicine any patient may need at any given time. (or something along those lines. I'm sure someone will correct me)

But yes. Landlord does have rights to say if you can or cannot grow your meds there.

Sorry dude, but it sounds like you're getting F'd in the A. Might have to stick with growing indoors.

If you feel that legally you can do it, go ahead. But I wouldn't risk being out of medicine AND a home.

If your landlord is not a dick, be direct and ask him. Mention that you've read the lease and don't see anything in there about it. Make it clear to him your intentions. Otherwise you'll find yourself out of a place and in court over some BS...

Or... you can just grow indoors. "I'm just saying..."

read your lease. if there's a stipulation in there that says that landscaping is YOUR responsibility, or that all landscaping costs are yours, then you're in the clear.

if the clause says he will take care of the landscaping costs, then you're fucked.

you won't need to ask the land lord anything, you SAY you're growing according to the law, and that he can't do anything about it, if the contract allows you to.

write a letter to your neighbor and tell her what's going on, make it especially clear that you refuse to take any other medication because of the plethora of side-effects, compared to mj's relative safety. it would be especially useful if you were prescribed some other medicine, and something went horribly wrong. let her know that weed is considered a medicine in your state *use the name of the Law, and include a copy, highlighting where exactly it mentions that it's LEGAL for a patient to grow and consume weed* and you're being recommended it by a doctor, she's out of place in her actions, and that if she continues to try and thwart your attempts to access your medicine, a civil harassment case looking for punitive damages would not be far behind, because you not having access to your medicine is making you sick, interfering with your life, etc. etc. etc. (believe me, nothing makes someone being difficult for the fun of it get straightened out quicker than you knowing you have grounds for legal action, and that legal action is imminent unless an agreement is reached. a pretty big company round here refused to give me my last paycheck last year after an abrubt end to our relations, excuses ranging from it's not ready, to it's tax season. they were just stalling to hold-off sending me the check to the deadline, trying to make my life difficult by keeping my wages, and strangling my wallet. when i showed up with a buddy of mine who happens to work for the better business bureau, the check was prepared by hand by the president, signed, and given to me on the spot)

you should get in contact with a lawyer, go to NRML's website, or Americans for Safe Access, and tell them your story so they'll have your back.

make sure you have the backing of one of the above groups and do everything as legally as possible (the DEA is still a threat, even though obama ordered them to respect state laws, they don't give a shit).

good luck.

I acctually have had tinitis for the past 8 months, a side effect from the medications Im prescribed. And there is nothing anyone can do about it. Some live with it for the rest of thier lives.

just be clear with your neighbor and land lord.

the land lord has the final say.

and tell you're neighbor that you are considering legal action against her because you cannot access your meds. i'm serious with this one.

if she doesn't think marijuana is medicine, she should move to florida, or texas, but in your state, the people and government have determined that MJ is safe for medicinal use. she's the one that's out of place.

for years people like her have been getting people like us into trouble for wanting to smoke weed instead of lunesta or budweiser.

it's time to push back. hard.
