Check NRML's site. They have the individual laws for each state. From the searches I've done, it doesn't look like most states consider seedlings or male plants any differently from a mature female plant. And it'd be funny, if the consequences were not so dire, that they estimate each plants as having not just outrageous street prices, but huge gains as well. I know that I was trying to figure out what the average yield per plant was here (and thank god I did not post--would've been flamed big time), and it looks like about one oz per plant is doing well. Tell that the war on drugs folks. They see one plant, and it's ONE POUND at outrageously inflated prices.
Gratuitous factoid: Florida just passed and starting enforcing first of this month incredible penalties for indoor growers: 25 plants, including males, seedlings and clones will get you into one hell of a lot of trouble. That would include clones and seedlings.
In states like those, I wouldn't count on an understanding judge. I think they love this stuff. Ooooh, to be so tough on crime! And esp in a state like Florida! Europeans being robbed and shot at random? Children desperately in need of social services? Who cares, as long as those horrid drug dealers and potheads are being incarcerated. It all looks good at election time. Seriously, social services in Florida are barely operating at all thanks to budget cuts, but thank god they've got the resources to go after the soccer moms growing a few plants. Thank god.
End of grandstanding.
