Aside from your english being horrid, what I could make out is you are worried that FEDS will come to the room, legally they can. The state law only applies to state enforcement, Obama did release something urging the dea to not pursue legal patients and there will be minimal resources for it, something to that extent. Short story, yes the feds could raid the place, but aside from the two of you knowing about it unless osmeone starts talking they wont know it is there.

Marijuana is still 100% illegal under federal law, so yes the feds can still bust you, and yes, they can seize property. It won't matter if you are legal under state law or not....selling or not....

 

The fact is that a landlord who knows you are growing in his facility stands the risk of losing his property to - or paying through the nose to defend against - federal seizure. It sounds like this is a multi-unit facility and therefore worth more than a typical house. Losing such a property to the federal government would be a huge loss.

 

Consider also that especially since this is a multi-unit building, there are likely to be electrical and fire code issues that would not apply to an owner-occupied residence.

 

Whatever small rent income he might get probably isn't worth it to him. You also have to consider other factors such as possible damage his place might suffer due to excessive humidity, pests, water or soil spills, etc.

 

And not to be mean or anything, but based on your post, I'd guess your lawyer is a little smarter than you are, knows more about the law, and is likely someone whom you should be listening to rather than dismissing the opinion of. If you don't like his opinion, ask another legal professional; you'll get the same answer though.

That's OK jay your lawyer is probably considerably smarter than they are. Ya don't have to accept their insults, rise above them. Like to think I'm pretty darn smart but my daughter attained a 172 on her LSAT's and is attending NYU Law School. Already appears she is much smarter than I an she's not a practicing attorney yet.

On the other hand I have to agree with the landlord's attorney. You may have to find another solution.

I have a bad knee that hurts everyday not quite sure what my "illness" as you put it, has to do with my intellect or my being a saint, and read highlanders post he said he was not trying to be mean, nor was I the only reason I stated that the grammar was bad was with hopes of clarification to make sure that my answer that I provided you with was accurate, so you can stop going off the handle we are just trying to help you and being able to interpret the question being asked is a large part of it. One example of what I meant was you said you wanted to know if the feds will "taks" are you trying to spell tax or take, you are new to teh forum but you need to understand there are a lot of gray areas involved and clarity and understanding is key to making sure you receive proper information.

we should all be less critical of others, especially on a website regarding medical marijuana. It's no surprise to anyone that many of the members of these forums have any number of serious and debilitating medical and/or mental health conditions and a large number of these people have either been failed by modern medicine or lack health insurance to get their conditions properly treated

So with that being said. My grammer shouldn't of been draged ito this...... I read over my post and .....as I said that was all un called for!

So when you said taks did you meant tax or take? If he told you that they will TAX it that is a huge lie, if he told you they can TAKE it they can, but if you keep it to only the people who need to know don't see any reason you will draw attention to yourself. Again was not supposed to be a rude original post by me was just pointing out that that bad of grammar and misspelled words can lead to confusion in answers.

I am just curious at this point not expecting anything really, did the lawyer tell you tax or take, my assumption based on common sense is take but based on the sound of the word tax could also be taks, if he did inform you it was to be taxed you may want to let him know he is wrong, as I stated I'm just curious as to what he actually said.

Ok ty and it is quite all right, one of my good friends is dyslexic I am used to reading misspelled words, one time he wrote a rap as a joke it was like translating Hieroglyphics, the only reason I brought up yours was for clarification Ty and good luck.

look I just need some one that has the imfo I. Need him 2 know its not a crime!.... we need to stand up with one voice. Screeming out loud we pat. Have rights!

 

Federally it is illegal so yes the dea can raid it, statewise it is legal as long as where you are growing is listed as the spot your plants will be located at and the grow room is up to code on a legal basis, a locked room is a must, I would post a copy of your card on the door and a sign that says private no entry.

I am replying to you in a kind hearted way. Jay Jay, you have to take into consideration that perhaps the person you would be renting space from, considering the property is in his/her name and he/she would suffer the most from much of this with prosecution, so I can understand your friend being hesitant and not wanting to stand up with one voice at his/her expense and so many variables that are realistically possible, regardless of what the the highest priced attorneys and the ACLU may tell him/her.

 

If you are this other person's friend, you will respect his/her decision and concerns, whatever that be. Real friends care about one another, look out for one another, root for each other, and sometimes disagree with one another. Maybe give it some time?

It is not and never was my intention to be mean. You want to tell your prospective landlord that what you want to do in his basement is 100% legal and that he has no risk if he lets you. Think about it from his persepctive. How much rent are you talking about here - $100/month? Is $100/month worth the risk of losing an apartment building.

 

The feds don't need any reason to bust you other than that there is MJ growing there. You are talking about a multi-unit with lots of people living there and possibly smelling this operation, etc. If the feds chose to raid this grow of yours, they would legally be able to seize the building the stuff is growing in.

 

How much risk is that to the guy who owns the building? Does his insurance cover him if your operation starts a fire? What about mold and pests? What about if the DEA comes in and trashes the place? Can you afford to cover his legal fees, repairs to the building, and lost rent?

 

I'll say it again: The feds can take this building away EVEN IF YOU ARE 100% COMPLIANT WITH STATE LAW. Think about that before you dismiss the advice of your attorney and accuse people of belittling you.

 

You went to your attorney and got accurate advice that you didn't like. You came here and got more accurate advice that you don't like.

 

You are asking a lot of someone else to let you grow in their building. That is a big risk to the owner. There is a very real possability that what you are proposing is not a good business decision for the building owner. Why can't you accept that?
