Well I was doing some research on marijuana busts and I knew alot of people get busted and most of the time they are big op's but I found one where a woman (in Europe some where) got busted for 5 plants that werent even mature and they gave her 12 months of something, I forgot. But it really got me thinking, what would have happened to her if those plants were flowering? What makes it worse for me is I live in America where they are even more hateful for marijuana. Reading all these articles got me really paranoid and I'm considering going outside and cutting all my 4 plants down that are doing so-so anyways because I cant get busted. I'm not the type of guy that can go to prison, it's just not me. I plan on growing 4 at a time in my house but I'm just now finding out that 4 even might not be enough for me..so what should I do? Everyone that has been growing for a year or more what have you been doing to not get busted? And if you've got busted what happened? Also how many plants do most of you guys grow at one time? Also if I get busted and tell them that my plants were for my personal use only and not for selling will my penalty be decreased? Because it's the truth, I'm not growing to sell my stuff, everything I grow I plan on smoking it all :stoned:
