Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

Re: hey

It is a felony to cultivate marijuana. The applicable statute subsection Chapter 195 is as follows:

7. A person commits the crime of trafficking drugs in the first degree if, except as authorized by sections 195.005 to 195.425, he distributes, delivers, manufactures, produces or attempts to distribute, deliver, manufacture or produce more than thirty kilograms of a mixture or substance containing marijuana. Violations of this subsection shall be punished as follows:

(1) If the quantity involved is more than thirty kilograms but less than one hundred kilograms the person shall be sentenced to the authorized term of imprisonment for a class A felony;

(2) If the quantity involved is one hundred kilograms or more the person shall be sentenced to the authorized term of imprisonment for a class A felony which term shall be served without probation or parole.

Re: hey

If you are arrested for cultivating marijuana you will most likely be charged with feloy possession. Unless they get you with one small plant for which you might be charged with a misdemeanor (under 35 grams). Either way you will need to hire an attorney.
