  Ok cool.  I wasn't looking to discuss cultivating, more looking to find
out what punishment one could recieve from the law for it.  Especially the
laws in CA.  I have heard things as they can confiscate your home and
possesions for cultivation even if a small amount and for personal medicinal
uses.  I like to be informed with truths and not rumors from some of my
buddys.

I would be interested in finding that out too.

That sucks!  Three years and $10,000 for growing a natural plant with
medicinal properties but yet I can sell cocaine and only get 6mos. God this
really makes me frustrated. What sense do they use making these laws.  Would
you know if it's true that on top of the above they can confiscate your
home and possesions too, or is that just rumor?

assistant: Your wrong :-)
Based on at least two premises - A) if black market profit margins are
elminated by the reflection of actual -cost- to produce/market currently
illict
drugs, most street dealers will vanish. B) the hard-core narcotics junkie
ill
no longer have to steal $300-500 dollars per day to support their habit; hell
even novice panhandlers can gather the $10-30 needed to support their
habits based on "real" drug costs....
I won't even mention that the current BILLIONS we spend on the W.O.D. and
incarceration costs will easily offset the costs of manufacture,
istribution,
health care and education.
Just a thought.

assistant: Undoubtedly, some of them will wind up being processed thru the
'justice' system.  The bulk of them aren't stupid, and if the writing's on
the wall, so to speak, it isn't too tough to find real jobs.  Help-wanted
signs are up all over.
       Aside from that, we aren't talking about significant numbers here.
       I considered that very question a while back - and the answer is, it
is going to be really tough to predict who's going to get hurt by it.  Some
third world countries will collapse.  Boat and airplane dealers aren't going
to be making as much, and the general luxury industry is going to take a hit,
but will recover quickly due to the increase in OOP spending.
       Ironically, the government will be making more in tax revenue after
legalization than it did pre-.  Conceivably, a tax CUT could be coming out of
it, what with the shutdown of the DEA, the gutting of the FDA, and school
funding fattening up.
       You might even see property taxes vanish - as they should have
centuries ago.  Property taxes are left over from the feudal
robber-baron days.  Estate taxes, while not a new development, are aimed at
destroying family dynasties.
       Sorry for rambling.  Got my hackles up this morning grousing at Jane
Kelly over in Herbs-n-Such and haven't quite got over it.

assistant: I would like to point out that the two types of crimes in question are
vastly different. In the case of dealing drugs both the distributor and
recipient are engaging in a criminal activity; therefore, it is unlikely
that either is going to file a criminal report. In the case of theft
only one (give or take a few) of the individuals is a willing party to
the transaction. Someone will likely file a report. As you should be
able to see the latter is a much riskier proposition. They should be
eliminated through attrition.

assistant: --==<<< Continued from previous message >>>==--
The plants in Liz's main garden, where flowering takes place, are
in early flowering and filling out.  Most of these plants have
already flowered once.  After removing the buds from the plants,
Liz let them go into a vegetative cycle by running the lights
continuously.  After a few weeks the flowering cycle regimen of
12 hours light/12 hours darkness was reinstated.
When plants are reflowered they tend to be very bushy.  To
eliminate small branches crowding the area, most are clipped off.
Liz let most of the branches grow.  As a result she has hundreds
of flowering sites on each plant, but they are much smaller than
they would be with fewer branches.
Liz is away, so she has placed "water fountains" in her garden to
make sure that the plants do not go dry.  The reservoirs are
designed to keep the water level at two inches.  The water is
stored in a 2-liter plastic soda bottle and travels through a
small tube directly into the tray.
