So I have done a lot of research on plant limits in RI and there is a lot of conflicting information on the matter. While many parts of the written law are vague.........or atleast vague enough that so much conflicting info is out there.........there seems to be a consensus on the definition of MATURE(visible bud sites with naked eye) and IMMATURE(no visible buds to naked eye).

The ISSUE I want to have a discussion on here about is plant limits and collective grows(two or more caregivers residing and growing in the same dwelling). Here is what I gathered from my various hours of searching on the matter. I also emailed RIPAC with no response and their website seems dead since 2010ish.

After alot of reading and thought on the matter this is what I believe the limits to be.
FOR ONE PERSON
Patient Card= 12 immature 12 mature
cargiver card 1= 12 immature 12 mature
caregiver card 2= 12 immature 24 mature
Patient and caregiver 1= 24 immature 24 mature
patient caregiver 1 and 2(max)= 24 immature 36 mature

So to my understanding the only way one person can have 24 immature plants and 24 mature plants is by being a PATIENT AND CAREGIVER 1. If that person is a PATIENT AND DOUBLE CARGIVER they can have 24 IMMATURE and 36 MATURE.

If two people of the same status(patient double cargiver 24/36 status) live together technically they could grow more than 100 plants total. IMO this is way too much and close to the magical number the DEA really starts to care and will act federally. That being said I wanted to hear people thoughts and opinions on this matter.

Below is a link where I found the most helpfeul info and posts that seemed informative.

I'm almost sure that it stops at 24veg/48flower with two patient and two caregiver cards, I think thats the max number you can get in RI.

I was always under the impression you could never have more than 24 in flower, regardless of # of patient or caregiver cards.

BTW, you can just try calling RIPAC too. I know their phone number is on their website.

I was referring to two patients with two caregiver cards under one roof, but as a single patient with a caregiver card then it is 12/24.

Thanks for the replies guys.....this is kinda what I mean though. Lots of differing info.

My main issue is with how many IMMATURE plants one is allowed when a double caregiver as opposed to a patient and caregiver. It seems that only once you are a patient and caregiver can you have 24 immature or vegging plants.

So in other words.....if you are a double caregiver you can have 12 vegging and 24 flowering..................not 24 veg and 24 flower

Only when you are a patient and caregiver(single of double) can one have 24 immature or vegging and then either 24 or 36 flower.

I will find out soon enough as I left a message for RIPAC to call me back. I will tackle the collective issue as well(having more than one patient or caregiver residing in the same house with multiple cards and plant allowances) if I can as well.

Hopefully I can get some definintive answers and this thread can be a place for people to look.

Cool man....well def keep us posted on what you hear as I will too. I just want everyone to have a clear picture. I know a dude who always said it was 24 and 24 and hes a double caregiver. I know he isnt an idiot and did lots of research too but the more I read the more I wonder. i just want to do it RIGHT.....was a grower for years looking over my shoulder and being paranoid. I want to know I am within my rights with my plant limits once I get both cards and move. Once I am in state I do have a medical condition and paperwork so I should be able to become a patient as well.

Glad we have a open discussion starting to develope here. I encourage anyone to participate. Even if you dont have any more facts or info with this issue. Just let us know you also have interest so as to be bring more attention to the ambiguities in the laws.

After all......we are just trying to obey the law

Nah dude...........not sureprised really either. But I did look at their callender and they are having a meeting soon open to anyone. Usually they want you to be a patient or caregiver.......some times caregivers must be with their patient too.

This meeting is for anyone looking for info..........I may just pop in and try to get some concrete info on this subject.

Thanks for the update Gmanwho........I will try to update this when I get some more info. I will also continue to try and call to get my answers before I drive a long way. But I just get the recording each time I call.
