I'm all for helping those caught growing cannabis for their own needs, or caretakers that are busted regardless of being licensed by their state for growing others' meds, but it seems to me there's a bunch we weren't told. Like how did they find your grow, what were the other charges, how do they know you've grown more than 100 plants in 3 years, why is there no mention that you were growing under a doctor's recommendation...and being a doctor, your wife didn't have the ability to provide one?

You being a lawyer, you didn't think of what a bust might do to your family or business...? Was there a manufacturing for sales or distribution charges? Something's not adding-up. Those are just a few of the questions I have, but if you really are a lawyer, you should have a better attention to detail than to just come in and hit us up for financial help under the illusion of half-truths. (you were convicted, right?)

But if you're nothing but a cash-cropper, you knew the risks before you started, and I have no problems with someone that subverts the cannabis laws paying the price.
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Federal Guidelines...A Tale of Caution Hi everyone: I wanted to warn all of you who grow in medical states, like CAlifornia. My wife and I, were charged by the feds for growing, also called manufacturing in fed language. The prosecuter added up all the plants I grew over a 3 year period to get the numbers over 100. As you should know, 100 plants in fed land means 60 months in fed prison under the minimum mandatory sentencing rules. My wife and I have to surrender on May 2, 2011 to start serving a 60 month sentence in federal Rating: 5
