" Sale, delivery or cultivation of any other amount up to 25 pounds is a felony and punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000."

Would 16 plants be considered 16 pounds? I alredy knew to keep it under the 25 plant limit witch im glad i did.

The weight is whatever the cops weigh. Who knows what that'll be, hopefully only the plant material.

Best of luck to you bro.

Just let your attorney take care of your defense. He will probably delay as much as possible so that the plants will dehydrate, will ask that you stop smoking and provide a drug test to show that you have stopped smoking. Also provide him with biography and make sure to mention all your ailments.:2cents:

P.S.

Your attorney will ask that you Don't talk to anyone about your case. Not even here. Just be careful, but not paranoiac.

Sorry man. Just that, medical marijuana is not a legal defense in Florida.:mad::mad:
 
It all is going to be dependent upon what the D.A. wishes to pursue but without any record, scales, weapons, etc. you are looking at probation I would say with a deferred felony.

Hey ftp504, this is sad news,:mad: especially as it's your medicine, looks like you done everything right, lawyer etc, I do hope you get from under this with the lightest sentence possible, best of luck, try and stay positive.
If you can 'prove' the MJ helped you I would use it as my defence, legal or not

The Marijuana Medical Necessity Defense under Florida Law

In 1989, in State of Florida v. Musikka, a woman charged with cultivation of six marijuana plants asserted the medical necessity defense at trial in Broward County, Florida. The woman testified that she suffered from glaucoma, had already lost sight in one eye after a failed medical procedure, and used marijuana to keep from going blind in the other eye. The woman's own physician, an ophthalmic researcher with the Bascom-Palmer Eye Institute in Miama testified at trial that he knew that she was using marijuana to treat her condition and believe that without marijuana she would go blind.

Judge Mark E. Pollin, heard from several witnesses, including other medical experts, and found the woman not guilty because her use and cultivation of marijuana was excused under the "medical necessity defense."
 
i so hope that works for you man the system is so fucked up but sometimes it doesnt always screw pepole like in that case man keep your head up and talk to your doctors have it all documented even if ya stop smoking for a short period to prove its medical value for you. i hope the best for your case and health stay strong and keep your head up.
