42. It's a massive cut in how much you can have/buy.

Wed Feb 19, 2014, 02:53 PM

Feb 2014

Do you buy your laundry detergent 2-3 loads at a time? 24oz was reasonable for medical patients, actually. 3oz is not. 'Possession' includes driving home from the store.

The home-grow rule is so fiddly now, that it's probably better just to not risk it at all, honestly. It seems designed to enable fucking with people.

And, the dispensaries will close. That's a shitload of jobs right there. And some of these products may not even be carried by the recreational stores. Like the infused cream for joints/aches/injuries. There's no recreational use for that at all.

I watch people go through an ounce a week, easy. AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #50

Even in that scenario, 3 ounces will last you nearly or right at a month. phleshdef Feb 2014 #52

I think 5 ounces would be more reasonable at least. Sure. AtheistCrusader Feb 2014 #55

It's 8 ounces if your doctor says you need that much. kristopher Feb 2014 #68

Medical users can go through an ounce a week, no problem. bemildred Feb 2014 #47

I'm talking about supply. bemildred Feb 2014 #58
