NORMLs wrong about NYS growing laws
On the NORML website the consequences for sale/cultivation are here
According to this the penalty fore growing 1 pound of marijuana, regardless of how many plants are growing, is a class C felony. I did some looking around and eventually found this, notice how none of these laws even mention "cultivation" or "manufacture" anywhere? Does that mean its legal to grow marijuana in NYS except you cant possess it or sale it? Well not exactly.... after scrolling around I found this in the public health laws. I found it interesting there are no limits on numbers of plants. 1 or 100, no difference? Also, Where did NORML get their info? thats pretty cool if 100 plants is still a misdemeanor, although I am sure the feds would step in around 99  I wonder if I just found a loophole r something?

Im not sure how to really verify anything though. How does one call LEO and ask "hey, if you caught me growing will u charge me with a misdemeanor, or cut it and dry it to make it a felony"
https://www.eveningtribune.com/news/p...ts-confiscated This guy gets a class a misdemeanor for 150 plants in an underground bunker and $25G worth of equipment... Now check this out... https://www.eveningtribune.com/news/x...-50-pot-plants He eventually gets charged with a felony and a misdemeanor. The Sheriffs "dried" it in an attempt to give them a worse charge. Shouldnt this be "tampering with evidence"? on the cops part? These stories come out of the same paper. I wonder how many people have been fucked because of this "loophole"? The "growing" law exists for "growing". If the cops can cut it and weigh it......Why would they make this law? |

overall, NY can be a fairly grow friendly state, at least compared to many
provided your on the small scale, growing ozs in dry weight much safer, lbs is a different beast it is a good idea to do some searches in the local newspapers for actual bust, weights, etc. some parts of the state are fairly relaxed, parts of upstate NY are becoming like cali's green triangle from what i've seen, NYC/Long Island is worse

the first guy was a year ago. the second guy was recent. Im just wondering what the operating guidelines of LEO in this area are.
so if I get this straight, I can grow 1 plants that weighs 8 oz and get a felony. I could also grow 1 plant that weighs 24 grams (a violation ticket) and get a class A misdemeanor? Its kinda like the cops CHOOSE who gets misdemeanors vs felony's, for the same charge depends on....well....idk. Its sure isnt plant numbers or if your a habitual. I should contact a lawyer in this state to clear things up a bit for me. |

there is also the weighing process which can get done in the extreme with soil and roots but from what i understand, that won't hold through the court process, it will be reduced to a more realistic weight it's part of the pretrial shakedown to try to get a quicker,higher plead deal

You will get two charges in each case.
First guy: 1 plant 8 oz ... Class A Misdemeanor for growing, Felony for Possession. Second guy: 1 plant 24g... Class A Misdemeanor for growing, Class A Misdemeanor for possession. The weight for possession is the trigger. |

all this does is adds a misdemeanor growing charge to the felony possession of that which you are growing. it's an addendum not a loophole.
