probably a fine and community service,possibly a suspended sentence!if you can prove they were for percy!if old bill could prove intent to supply then maybe prison but it would depend on ya criminal record!

whats are the uk laws on growing cannabis - Cannabis.com Forums Message Boards - Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, News

If it's for personal use and it's your first time (or so you say) you'll get a nice slap on the wrist. Also having a criminal record definitely won't help. 7 1/2 years max if you plead guilty.. But for 8 plants I doubt you'll get any serious time.. Start buffing up just in case though :P.

what about if it was only 4 plants, would that make a difference?

Basically it works on whether they can prove you are a commercial grower or a person who grows for personal use in relation to amount of plants you have.

So lets look at it both ways, someone with 4 plants in a fairly modest grow could comfortable say, personal use given the amount of bud produced from 4 plant in 8 weeks, so lets break this down into what you could smoke on a daily basis, easy for a solicitor to argue on your behalf as personal smoke. smoked on a daily routine per 8 weeks etc.

Now someone with more than 8 plants etc makes you look, in most cases as more than a personal grower, given the possible yield and the plants you will have probably in veg which is then added on to your 8,

Now your looking exactly like a commercial grower and with serious difficulty to prove otherwise, on this amount of evidence the police would be able to put you in prison even on a first time offence.

Less than 8 is safe......''

More than 8 it's too late

**skunkbudnice** · 01-28-2008, 01:54 PM

Don't worry bud, 4 plants you would get a caution.

But you should not be looking or thinking to get caught?

Enjoy your plants
