OK, so im just curious about this...
my friend is growing right now with no mmj card and about 57 plants in so cal. I'm concerned about the consequences if hes caught. he claims ( and also a few other people i know that grow a nice amount) its pretty much a slap on the wrist for a first time offender if you have the money to pay the fines and hire a good attorney and that basically, its about 5-6k in fines and a good lawyer will get it reduced to a possession charge in most cases and you would maybe get 6-8 months of probation or maybe house arrest. he's even told me that he knows several cops that buy weed from him who say they don't care about small ops like that and that he even knows a DEA agent(a family member of his) that told him its basically not a very big deal if your under 99 plants and that they don't wanna waste their time with petty shit like that. like they wanna go after big ops that have 3, 4, 600 plants and looks good in the media and their phony "war on drugs"
my question is,
1) if you are caught by LEO with that amount( around 30-60 plants), can a good attorney really bail you out and get your charges reduced at all if your a first time offender.
2)does it make a difference if you DO have your mmj card and /or several other card holders to help claim the garden to claim a co-op?
3) if a good attorney CAN get you out of hot water, is paying a few thousand dollars and expensive legal fees the worst case scenario?
4) has anyone or anyone you know or herd of ever been caught growing in southern california with 30-60 plants? what happened to them? did they serve a prison sentence? did they have an mmj card?state card?
and please dont post stupid shit or links to ca norml about growing guide lines. ive already read all that stuff.
