getting caught with a plant

[hossua34]

From NORML:

Sale or Cultivation
2 oz or less gift class B misdemeanor 3 months and/or fine $500
24 g sale class A misdemeanor 1 year and/or fine $1,000
25 g to 4 oz (first felony) class E felony 1 - 4 years


...so the question is, cut and dried, is it under 25 grams? If so you lookin at a misdemeanor and a 500 dollar fine. If it's more, you could be charged with a felony.

Either way, they won't take you parent's house. There are Supreme Court cases against property seizures that are "grossly out of proportion to the offence", so any good lawyer could prevent that.

couldnt you just tie it down and bend it so its not that big or do you have to do that earlier when its not a strong?

how am i extremely lucky not to get caught? its a single plant for personal use in the yard. how the heck would they find it?

I would never even think about growing a plant in my backyard while living in the U.S.! Low flying copters can spot that out and kids have allways been trespassers. Your best bet is to stick with indoor growing, produces better buds anyways...

just bend it....... thats what i did

i used a pencil, fishing line and a hook

hook around the plant and bend it over and use the pencil as a stake (see pic)

mine was a 6.5 footer and was almost over the neighbors fence
