Legality of Growing Marijuana Plants

Growing marijuana plants for personal use, distribution, informational purposes, or any reasoning is illegal. Some people are capable of receiving permits to grow medical marijuana in certain areas across the world but for anyone else it is a crime to grow weed. However there are still many people that do it and a lot more who are fighting for the right to legalize marijuana on a daily basis.

Laws

Marijuana cultivation is frowned upon by authorities. If someone who is normally a law abiding citizen is caught growing even one marijuana plant they will be punished severely. While the punishment may be probation for a first time offender there are still a lot of people who got caught growing cannabis plants and received many years punishment.

Marijuana is legal in some areas like India and Iran but the majority of the world has laws against possessing and growing marijuana.
Punishment

Usually growing marijuana plants would be considered a felony charge but if the crop is a small size in certain areas it may be a misdemeanor. For those who live in the United States you can use the website NORML.com in order to see what a rough idea would be for the punishment of both possessing marijuana and cultivating it.

If you choose to grow dope plants you should stick to a small crop as it will not raise any suspicion. If you do get caught with it however you have to make sure you convince the court that the plants or stash they found was for personal use. If the crop is small it won’t be as difficult to prove it is for personal use.

Make sure when the marijuana is grown you keep it all in one bag only as well. If you don’t then you may be looking at getting charged with ‘possession with the intent to distribute’ and that’s a much steeper charge.
