If you're not legal you should prob start with 2-4 plants. Keep it small and see if you want/can go bigger on the next grow.

funny, but i couldnt even though the bitching and moaning is kinda there. i got 2 posetions already so her defense if needed could be my record! it was me and only me. today someone in my city got busted for 100 plants with only one ounce of bud and the news said it was worth 5k. there idiots. i think the thing to worry about is greedy friends or aquantences or maybe our own wives taking from the cookie jar!

Mandatory minimum sentence: When someone is convicted of an offense punishable by a mandatory minimum sentence, the judge must sentence the defendant to the mandatory minimum sentence or to a higher sentence.

Even peaceful marijuana smokers sentenced to "life MMS" must serve a life sentence with no chance of parole.
