think it is 16 unless you are scheduled for ag.

I keep seeing folks mention "AG". Such a designation makes no difference when it comes to weed/plant counts. It's a Statewide rule no matter what PUD designation you are living under.

Jan. 1 2018....it's all gonna change radically on the med side.

There are new penalties coming for overrages as well.

Wrong.

HB 1220

Quote:

The bill places a cap on the number of plants that can be possessed or grown on a residential property at 16 plants unless a local jurisdiction permits possessing or growing more than 16 plants.

Quote:

(II) (A) REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PLANTS ARE FOR MEDICAL
OR RECREATIONAL USE, IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR A PERSON TO KNOWINGLY
CULTIVATE, GROW, OR PRODUCE MORE THAN TWELVE MARIJUANA PLANTS
ON OR IN A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY; OR TO KNOWINGLY ALLOW MORE THAN
TWELVE MARIJUANA PLANTS TO BE CULTIVATED, GROWN, OR PRODUCED ON
OR IN A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY

The house committee brought up the fact that ag properties would not be affected during the hearing. During the hearing there was a woman from Eastern CO that explained she had ag property then the bill committee told her she would not be affected by it.

I suggest everyone reads through the bill. HB1220 has no mention of agriculture zoning in it.

Quote:

“Any patient or caregiver who is registered with the local government can grow up to 24 plants at home,” said Rep. Becker. “That covers 92 percent of all patients and caregivers, and then those who need more than 24 plants can petition their local government for a variance or they can grow it in a non-residential setting.”

Looks like grows of more than 24 plants are ok at multiple residences or on non residential zoned properties.

I'd still like to see this challenged (as a constitutional violation [especially in the case of medical]) but it's likely that it will not happen OR if it does, the challenge will be thrown out of court.

Whoops, forgot that

Says 16 on the page but the actual bill reads 12.

Plant counts are pretty disingenuous, imo, for the purpose of controlling a given operators production rates.

A limit to grow (cannopy) area would serve the purpose far more effectively.

I mean... A person could do 100 plants @ 1/sq/ft in a 10 x 10 area or they could do 4 huge 5x5 plants.
No counting necessary... Just a tape measure.

Smart producers that grow for the BM will just learn to grow 5+lb plants!

I stand corrected. However, check those tax bills....because I live in an Agriculturally designated PUD on every map there is available....yet...according to my county...because I pay RESIDENTIAL taxes, not AG taxes, I do not fall under "Ag" allowances.

Either way...we are losing rights every year...and that's why we ignore all of it here.

So if you tell your local government, you can grow up to 24 residentially....so if you're not growing residentially, what's the limit then? Too much haze
