Slog - Comments on How Much Pot Can You Grow? http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/how_much_pot_can_you_grow That’s the question folks have been asking since 1998, when Washington voters passed a medical-marijuana initiative. Here’s the problem: The law only says patients with a doctor’s authorization can have a "60-day supply." But some cops claim they don’t know which patients are growing in compliance with the law and which ones are abusing it. So in places like Kent, police have arrested parents and taken away their children even though they had the right paperwork.

That is a lot of fucking weed.

I read that as 18 immature plants, or 6 mature plants, or 24 ounces of ready-to-use pot, your choice of one of those three. But its 18 immature plants, 6 mature plants, and 24 ounces of ready-to-use pot TOTAL? Damn, nobody's got the glauc that bad!

that's a 1/2 oz./day.

A bowl is what, about 1/40 an ounce (for a big bowl)? So at 1/2 ounce a day that's 10 good sized bowls. And the fucking department of health was like, nope that's not enough.

So I went and read the draft rule. Why does the definition of "useable marijuana" include the leaves? I thought those weren't usable.

And for the ones who can smoke, I hope to God they're using a vaporizer, because inhaling that much smoke on a daily basis would be hell on the lungs.

Are you using a cereal bowl to smoke pot? You should get 10 bowls out of an 8th. MAYBE a quarter.
