Curious if folks are growing pot now that its legal? (Tucson: sales, neighborhood)

[autism360]

I noticed the new pot law allows up to 6 plants per household so I gots to ask how many people are growing plants now?

The same people that were growing it before it was legal.

Do you have to be more than 25 miles from a dispensary?

This was 1.50 per gram in Nogales... What they are charging 15-20 for at the despensaries may not be as good.

Nope. Not any more.

I thought it was 6 plants per adult in the household?


I may try next year to grow.

Don't know what the law is. However, if you're going to grow 8-10 pot plants in your backyard I'd be more concerned with kids in the neighborhood noticing the plants and trying to steal them as opposed to getting into trouble with the law.

In Illinois you can grow 4 plants, but you have to have them in a secure location, meaning a privacy fence that is locked at all entry points. If a police officer noticed the plants and was able to gain entry through an unlocked gate, then you'd be breaking the law

I don't smoke pot, or even smoke at all, I have no need to grow it. But voted for it's recreational use being legalized only because I see no reason for throwing people in jail for it or at the very least dragged through the legal system ending up with a potential criminal record.

It may also cut down on the black market sales where people can be introduced to all kinds of other stuff far worse than pot. People who deal drugs just don't limit their products to pot. One of my cousin's was a junkie (he's dead now) he also was drug dealer in order to support his habit. There wasn't anything that he couldn't get. He'd been robbed and beaten a couple of times because of his profession. He wasn't exactly associating with the most trustworthy people. He only made it into his early 30's before he died of an overdose. What a ****'n waste of a life. My father used to say that he took a perfectly good body and destroyed it.

He'd been busted and sent to rehab, but it didn't do any good. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to get involved with all of that crap? After he got out of rehab I knew that he was still doing drugs, I tried to talk some sense into him as we were close growing up. I figured that he might listen to me? He just glared at me and said: You just don't understand I'm a ****'n junkie, I can't ****'n quit! Within a year he quit alright, for good.

If people are going to smoke pot I'd rather see them buying it under a controlled situation than dealing with the criminal underworld.

My friend in Tucson has been growing a handful of plants recently. He didn't before it was legal.

growing it outside here would be difficult at best; no moisture, WAY too hot, uncontrollable lighting conditions overall horrible growing conditions, if you're gonna do it, you need to do it inside a structure where you can control all those things, otherwise, you'll never get it right
