    I read the last board meeting so you do not have to

    I do this most months and figured it belonged here. I sat down with the agenda and the materials from the most recent meeting and took notes, and I am going to link the documents rather than characterise them, because my summary is not the record and I would rather you read the record. Two things stood out to me. Several items are procedural in a way that sounds boring and is not, because procedure is how a timeline slips by a quarter without anyone announcing a delay. And a couple of items got moved without much comment, which is worth watching in the next set of materials rather than reading anything into now. I am not going to tell you what any of this means for the rules where you live, because I would be guessing and I am not qualified to guess. If you want a specific item pulled out and linked, name it and I will find it.

    Driving between counties with it in the car: what is the actual rule

    genuine confusion, not looking for a loophole. i am in the car constantly, different county most weekends, trailhead to trailhead. so there is a thing i do not understand: what is the correct way to have it with you in a vehicle here. sealed? trunk? does the county i started in matter, or the one i end up in? everything i find online is either a lawyer ad or somebody very confident in a comment section, and those two sources disagree. i would rather be boringly careful than confidently wrong, so i am asking. if someone can point me to where this is actually written down rather than telling me what they heard, that would help a lot.

    Can somebody explain the home grow rules in plain English

    Second post from me and I am afraid it is another beginner question. My son keeps telling me I am allowed to grow a couple of plants at home now, and every time I try to confirm that for myself I end up in a document written for lawyers, or a forum post from someone in another state entirely. What I would like to know is what the actual limits are supposed to be, whether it matters that I rent, and where the reliable place to read this is. I am not asking anyone here to be my solicitor and I would not treat a reply as one. I would just like to be pointed at something official that a person can read. I have a very sunny south window and a lot of newly free time. That is the extent of my qualifications.
