I did a search and couldn't find anything on this

NORML didn't specify either

Is there a certain number of plants, for oregon specifically, that can be grown that if caught will result in a less harsher sentence than if there were say more plants?

Now I've never, and definitely don't plan on being caught, I would just like to know the limits..........

For some reason I was under the impression 9 plants or less was better than having 10 or more?

But that's just hearsay..........

Anyone?





whilst on the topic.....

Norml didnt have it on there site? They usually do. Oregon is a MMJ state and they have limits on how much you can grow.

I just looked. Here is a link for you on normls site.








Nevermind

Mr. Nevermind,

Thanks for the link, it is actually the same page I have already seen

What I took from this page is that the cultivation of any amount, 1 plant or 400 plants, is a 20 yr prison sentence with a 300,00 fine.......

Is that the case?

Also if anyone knows anything about Texas laws on plant count, (NOT weight) like on normal, please post it up....

Normal is not the answer

I've always heard 100 was the number that sent the case to Federal Court, as opposed to State. It's best to get on the OMMP if you're in Oregon. That is the best way to protect yourself.

"The DEA's position has been that if it is under 1,000 plants, they're not interested," Harris said. "That comes with a caveat: There can be other reasons the feds will become interested. If weapons or other types of drugs were involved, or a high level of sophistication."

Lewis agreed. "Prior to being elected sheriff, I was a DA investigator for many years, and one of my assignments there was narcotics," he said.

"At one point, the federal prosecutor's standard was exactly what [Mr. G] said -- 100 plants. If there were fewer than 100 plants, they would decline," he said. "[Today] that is well below what they would normally prosecute. That's not to say they can not or will not prosecute. But as a general rule, they're not interested in grows smaller than 1,000 plants."

Yeah, but just because it's not the DEA that comes, doesn't mean that your case won't be tried in Federal Court. Even if it's local sheriffs that actually bust you, if it's over 100 plants, odds are you're in federal trouble.

if it's over 100 plants, odds are you're in federal trouble

are low for the feds to prosecute you... but there are special circumstances that can land you in federal count... Marijuana (2200 pounds) 1,000 kg or more mixture; or 1,000 or more plants is the current federal law on "plants numbers" But on the otherhand Less than (110 pounds) 50 kg can get you a federal case. but the odds are low of you getting prosecuted in federal court for 100 plants.. they just dont care for a tiny ass grower. Federal prosecution is targeted for "king pins" and managers in drug distribution networks high level operations.... So you can hand down harsh MMS (minimum mandatory sentences) The feds arent out to get avg indoor growers... It is really dependent on the circumstances..if you have 100 plants "x" pounds of dry bud and guns. the feds will get you.. But in general the feds arent going to prosecute you for 100 plants..unless the state wants to give your case to the feds which means you had guns are something they thought was high lvl grow etc... From my research on federal cases and bud. It seems like 300+ plants will get the feds on you. But 300 plants isnt your avg grower anyways...

here are some real examples:

Kern Co - July 20, 2005. Joe Fortt, 42, director of American Kenpo Kungfu School of Public Health, arrested for cultivating over 2,000 plants at three different locations. Charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess more than 1,000 plants (10 year mandatory minimum). Currently held in Fresno jail, where his health has been declining. More on Joe Fortt.

Modesto - July 18th, 2005. DEA arrests Thunder Rector and two others on charges stemming from a raid on his property by Stanislaus Co sheriffs, who reported discovering 49 plants and 235 pounds of marijuana there. Rector and his wife Rayleen had been providing medical marijuana for partients at a San Francisco dispensary. Also charged was a neighbor, John Hellanger. More on Thunder's situation.


Oakland, March 16, 2006. DEA raids cannabis candy manufacturer, "Beyond Bomb," at three different East Bay sites, seizing over 5,000 plants, $150K cash, and the company's stash of cannabis candies & soda pop. Arrested are alleged ringleader Kenneth "Kena" Affolter and 11 other employees. DEA says products were packaged in eye-catching candy wrappers that might pose danger to kids. Supporters say that products were distributed for use by medical marijuana patients.


Merced - Aug 10th, 2005. Patient activist Dustin "DC" Costa arrested on federal charges. The charges stemmed from a raid in February 2004, when some 900 plants were seized from Costa's greenhouse. Costa had maintained that the plants were all for legal Prop. 215 patients. After 18 months of court continuances, state officials turned DC's case over for federal prosecution. (not 1000 plants but far from 100)

The whole point behind my most is just to inform ppl. You need to understand you local laws and federal laws. And just be smart about things.. Dont keep a gun at your grow or package up bud and store it there. Keep all your bud in 1 big not whole bunch of different bags. dont sell out of your grow or have scales baggies.. also having a sophisticated big grow could also get the feds on you.

take care be safe.
