    How is anyone supposed to grow if you can only hold 50g at once? Even just one plant will produce more than that.

      Colorado did the same thing. As of last time I dealt with it, you can grow six plants… which could put out like 12 pounds (5.5 kg) if you’re good at it, but you can’t travel with that because you were only supposed to have one ounce (28g) in your possession. Drive somewhere with 1/2 a lb? Same bullshit as always, second degree felony. The cops managed to to keep it illegal after legalization.

        I think the main issue is if you want to travel with it, yeah!

        Usually the rule is that in your home you can have the allowance plus anything produced by the plants you grow legally. I’m not sure about Colorado specifically, but I read quite a few of these laws and all the ones I remember said that the excess produced by your plants is fine provided you store it appropriately.

        But yeah you’re just supposed to move it 28g at a time I guess?

        So half a pound is 16 ounces.

        Isn’t that a lot to travel around with? It’s been a while since I was around the stuff but I recall an eighth being an okay amount for a few spliffs. Maybe I was just a light weight…

          No, half a pound is 8 ounces, or 225 grams. Sure, that’s still a lot.

          Yes, it’s a lot, but what if you’re moving houses, going camping, or giving it to someone? It’s legal to give weed to people. It’s like being allowed to brew beer at your house but you can’t leave home with more than a six pack.

          I tried to make it easy by giving conversions. The only one I didn’t explain is 1/2 a lb which is 8 oz or 225 g, and of course imperial measurements are absurd.

      I’m sure that means in public to transport like, taking weed with you to your friend’s dinner party.
