That certainly seems true, but I think that what is potentially much worse is growing when you have young children around. This could really destroy your immediate family. In fact, just posessing any amount of weed with young children around is probably just as bad as growing in your parents house, in terms of the law.
I don't think that applies for everyone. My husband and I grow. We have young children. It is for his personal use only. He got his prescription when he was diagnosed with a serious condition. By state law, it's legal. By federal law it's illegal. We have a private grow space that the children are not aware of.....yet. It's locked up and out of sight. We try to hide it as much as possible from them. We haven't decided what to do when the time comes to explain which will probably be in the next few years. I personally don't use. I dont need it (medically) nor I have a prescription for it (only my husband has a prescription) If I didn't have kids, I would most likely indulge . But for the sake of my kids I don't. I don't want my kids saying ..."but mommy does it, she's not sick, why can't I" It's not something I want my kids doing or want them to be thinking about doing.....period. Not till they're adults, but thats probably wishful thinking. I still have a few years.
