That's just wrong, as is the norml site, or maybe it's just outdated.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?
