“You can grow more than you can legally possess....”
That seems like a SERIOUS problem with the writing of the law.
An average DA could easily argue that you were in possession of more than your legal amount - just by your having it. A person’s intent to give away the surplus - at some unknown time in the future - is totally irrelevant.
What is the legal process/regulation/rule for destroying surplus in accordance with the law?
(I really don’t think that they wrote it like it’s been described here... seems way to ambiguous.)
You can possess four plants(Oregon) and up to 8 ounces per household. A plant can produce a few ounces, or several pounds, if someone really wants to try, so the wiggle room is in the plant, which is unsmokeable. I believe the 8 ounces has to be dried and useable. You can give it all away, so long as you give less than an ounce at a time to each recipient(21 and over) and can possess no more than an ounce away from home. Again, this is Oregon.
