1000Hills Nursery Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 So the Cops arrested a guy here in durban for have a "Drug Lab". The police state in their report that this guy has been illegally cultivating a stronger form of cannabis in his home known as hydroponic cannabis. They are also charging him for having a box of Viagra under some pharmaceutical act. The photograph of his plants that I saw in the news paper was honestly some small unhealthy plants that were either in dirt or coco. This whole story were cops make things look worse then they are is disappointing and scary at the same time. It makes me think what would they say about my grow room... So the question is How do we protect ourselves from being set-up and arrested when we grow more then what would be regarded as for personal use? If one shares their produce with friends and family and doesn't sell it how does he keep proof of this? I know dealing is illegal so we talking about protecting ourselves when we grow a lot but don't sell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakstein420 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 What I have gathered from searches is that each individual on a private property is allowed to have a certain amount of plants each. Cant confirm how many or what grow methods are acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ill_Evan Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Your protection is your knowledge. Know that you are allowed to cultivate marijuana in private for private use without intention to distribute. You can reasonably argue personal use at roughly two plants per person within a household. This is not law, it is not written down or referred to anywhere in legislation. Two plants per person in a household is just a legal argument one can use once put to the case in court (if you get taken that far). This is somewhat the case in Australia. South African law does take into consideration laws in foreign nations when precedent is being set (especially now in SA while we still wait for the official legislation). Let me emphasize that the law is still yet to be written on private marijuana cultivation. Each situation will be argued on a case to case basis. In other words, the less you look like you're dealing and the more you look like it's for personal use, the better off you will be. Unfortunately then in the case of growing large quantities for yourself, that's the risk my china that is the game you play, and play it well you must. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1000Hills Nursery Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 I hope they don't set the plant limit at 2. Mainly because 2 flavours to carry me till next harvest is not gonna do it. At a minimum give us 4 plants per person. But in saying this I hope legislature is set soon so we carry out our favourite hobby in peace and inline with the law... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreX Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 It is such a Grey area.. One outdoor plant grown semi decently could set you up with enough bud until the next harvest... Likewise... A poor shitty grown indoor plant is gonna give you enough bud till Saturday. I do hope we go toward more the Canadian laws... I think they have a 99 plant limit... Or it's straight up do what you want with the plant except sell it. My advice is... Keep your grow a secret... Nobody needs to know what you do and if nobody knows, the chances are lower that cops will one day rock up 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
