i was nabbed in '99 with 80+ plants and received 2 years probation, no fine and no loss of property other than what was seized in warrant. it's different in every state, i'm in nevada...btw, i got legal med-use/grow halfway through probation and they let me off early! but it was kinda weird for the 1st few months i was legal but still on probation and had officers coming by to look at my plants and take pics each month...and watching em walk away from them without any hassle! now on my 4th or 5th legal crop and no more visits or anything from them...i just hope they'll look out for them while i'm away! (yeah right...)
a dear friend is in an oklahoma county jail at this very moment waiting for her sentence of 5-15 for nearly same amount of plants i had but we're hoping for probation, at worst (2nd offense, same charge but 8+ years apart). we'll see in about 2 more weeks. she was a regular poster back in the hbc.com days and went by "mary, mary" or mm in case any of you out there know of her...keep her in your thoughts during the next couple weeks anyway, please...
