Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Growing Marajuana

Even one plant is a felony! However, under Proposition 215, a physician's recommendation for medicinal use that is current at the time of using (or being caught cultivating) is a defense. That doctor's note may be presented at a preliminary hearing to avoid trial. There are other matters involved and you should consult an attorney.

The sentencing range is 16 months to 3 years in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000.00. If you're under 21, you'll lose your driver's license for a year. Call me if you need me. (310) 806-9237. Good luck. --Phil
