I live in WA state, which has legalized (or decriminalized) medical marijuana. My girlfriend has a doctor's authorization for medical marijuana, but I am in search of more information about how the law treats grow setups under these circumstances.

Common sense (and CA law) would dictate that growing your own under these circumstances wouldn't be a problem, but I have heard that the issue is still under debate amongst law enforcement agencies in this state. I've also heard stories of medical patients being busted...not cool.

Does anyone know about the state of the law here in WA? I have seen a bunch of posts regarding CA law, but not for any other states. Perhaps if anyone else knows about the situation in other medical-approved states (i.e. Arizona, Alaska, etc.) they might want to provide these too.

To my understanding, although the medical marijuana laws have been decriminalized at a state level - they are not at the federal level. So growing marijuana is still considered a federal crime....

However...

Since your girlfriend has authorized permission from a doctor, you do have a strong chance of overcoming any charges against you... err... rather, her. Realistically, a small setup of about 10 to 15 plants with one (maybe 2) 1000W HPS bulbs, you could produce pounds of marijuana... I would imagine pounds could go really far, of course, depending on the medical condition... anyways, this small of a setup shouldn't atract too much attention as long as you keep it hush... hush

Good luck and keep us posted:

Thanks for the replies to my posts doob...
By the way I would love to get a HPS setup going, but finances and my living situation dictate that I grow with fluoros at this point in time. I'm even too poor to buy mylar at the moment. I think the fluoros will prove to be adequate though.

I did manage to find some good info on the WA medical marijuana act (I-692) at: http://www.eventure.com/i692/Pages/brochure.html

According to the law I am considered a "primary caregiver" and am protected under my girlfriend's authorization to grow a 60-day supply. How much constitues a 60-day supply is not defined... To be absolutely honest I am growing for her - not to say that I don't partake, but I wouldn't be actually *growing* if not for her medicinal use and the difficulties involved with acquiring a consistent, reasonably priced supply.

Anyway I will try tracking down information on the other states who allow medical use and post links to them as well. I figure others could get some use out of it.
