Ramifications of small grow in CA (San Francisco)

We're considering making a small grow cabinet (400 watts, probably 3 plants) in our place in San Francisco. We're just wondering: if the worst happened and for some reason the cops found the grow cabinet, what would happen to us?

The fruits will be be mostly for our consumption, maybe sell a little.

And just to spice things up in the scenario, one of my roomates has a felony for smuggling pot in CA 8 years ago. What's interesting about the felony is it was expunged, so it's not on his record, unless he screws up again, and then they don't hit him with any back charges (he already served I think 2 years for it), but they'll put it back on his record. As another factor, he's not directly involved in the grow.

Anyway, just wondering what people think.

Your roommate is involved, he lives there, thats the way the po po's will look at it. He will be the prime target that the cops go after to snitch. If only one person knows thats one person too many. It gets worse from there with every person that knows. Its the smuglers blues. Manufacturing marijuana is a federal offense and carries mandatory time. I think that its soft time now, but I might be wrong, that is having to do 50% of the time,then released to a halfway/rehab house. Dont let that scare you. Its amazing when at the end of say, five calenders, you get released, and you look back and it seems to have gone by fast. Do it, just bag the roommate.

Yep, then 5 years down the road you need a job, and they see on your record youve been arrested for Cultivation of Marijuana, Just what your boss wants to hire

5 years for 3 plants in Northern California? Oh please.

Anyone want to chime in with any actual knowledge of laws in San Francisco?

why not go to norml.org and find out for yourself

Here are the penal codes. They are state of CA and not federal. Mandatory times period, for growing with enhancements if done while high, around kids or schools, and with weapons around. The legal threshold is 28.5 grams. How much does a wet plant weigh?

CALIFORNIA CODES SECTION 11357-11362.9


11358. Every person who plants, cultivates, harvests, dries, or
processes any marijuana or any part thereof, except as otherwise
provided by law, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state
prison.

11360. (a) Except as otherwise provided by this section or as
authorized by law, every person who transports, imports into this
state, sells, furnishes, administers, or gives away, or offers to
transport, import into this state, sell, furnish, administer, or give
away, or attempts to import into this state or transport any
marijuana shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a
period of two, three or four years.

That's just wrong, as is the norml site, or maybe it's just outdated. For example, in Mendocino county it's currently fully legal to cultivate up to 100 square feet....

Also, there's probably some law on paper about really strict penalties for walking against a cross-walk.

Does anyone have any knowledge of growing laws (both what the laws are and how they're enforced) in Northern California, especially SF?

For example, what would actually happen if you were busted growing 3 plants for personal consumption?

www.norml.com has the laws in your state. I'm east coast here.

Under prop 215 & AB420 with a DR. note you can cultivate personal medical plants. Each county may have a different amount of plants you can grow but if you keep it small and out of site out of mind you will not have a problem.

Indoors is a lot safer then outdoors and they want you out of site out of mind. There is still quit a lot of confusion over prop 215 & AB420 but indoors is ok in small amounts with Dr note.

Check the medical section.

Compare yours with my state. http://www.norml.com/index.cfm?wtm_view=&Group_ID=4531

I am an unlucky bastard.
