Check out the NORML website, they have info on laws in all 50 states.

I think it really depends on any prior convictions, etc. This thread should be in the legal section by the way. Anyhow, what I find interesting is looking at actual arrest statistics, in my state there are practically no convictions for growing, they are mostly for selling and whatnot. So the primary thing is, don't take your stuff outside and don't sell it, and I'd say grow no more than three plants.

If you are growing indoors and are only growing a few plants, a dozen or so, maybe up to 25, the odds of being caught are pretty low. As long as you're not being obvious about it, it's unlikely the law will catch up with you. A 400watt metal halide fixture draws less power than a 1500watt space heater and will most likely not draw any attention. Just make sure there is no light leaking out or any smell from the budding babies and you should be ok. On the other hand, if you're planning on growing for profit and suddenly crank up a dozen or so 1000watt metal halides, it's very likely the local power company will take notice and have no qualms about reporting this sudden surge in power consumption to the authorities. Or they will send a couple guys around to check for problems (such as a massive short to ground) to make sure and I think in most states they are required by law to report it.
