does any one have any detailed advice on nc laws. i went to norml.com but still need more info on cultivating laws and penalties. I heard one plant can make a difference between misdermenor and felony so just wanted to see if any one know the penalties or know where to get this kind of info

anyone?anyone?

Possession of one half ounce or less is punishable by up to 30 days in jail, most likely suspended. Possession of greater than one half ounce is punishable by 1 - 120 days in jail, with a possibility of community service or probation in lieu of jail. Possession greater than 1.5 ounces increases the penalties to up to 12 months in jail.

Manufacture, Cultivation, sale or delivery of less than five grams, for no remuneration (payment, barter, or exchange of any kind) is considered possession and not sale. For amounts of ten pounds or less, the penalty is up to 12 months in jail.
Penalties for sale, delivery or manufacture are increased if the sale occurs within 300 feet of a school zone if the offender is over 21 and if the sale was made to a minor or to a pregnant woman.
(N.C.G.S. 90-95 as of 2/05/07)

im not sure NC has plant number deffinitions.... seems cultivation is a felony!
from what i read in some states they just say each plant is attempt to manufacture a lb... no matter how big it is, indoors or outdoors.
not sure if thats law or just seems to be the number they use

in that case it would be around 10 plants... if you really want to play it safe say 5. and you still might get 12 months...

im not a lawyer

If you grow, you are suposed to get 12 months in jail regardless. If you grow 10 plants, that's 10 lbs which is 12 months in jail felony, if you have less than that it would fall under possession greater than 1.5 ounces, which is still a penalty of 12 months in jail.

If you grow, minimum of 12 months in jail, maximum above that.

But if you are first time offender with no aggravating circumstances, I wouldn't be surprised if the DA offers you a plea bargain for probation or the like.

also true...iv known several older farmer types who have been busted and as stated.. no priors, no GUNS laying next to the plants... you could plea it down.
front page of the greensboro paper last week (i think) talking about bringing medical MJ to NC... remember we were one of the first states to decriminalize the plant.
its an agricultural state...

thanx guys. Glad to see fellow carolinians in the house. I really hope they bring the meds to nc.
