you do realize that once you're arraigned there is no 'statute of limitations'
allowing you to return yrs later, indictments just like diamonds are forever.
popped with a garden I can't do the time for
Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time
I'm hearing a lot of potential "20 to Life" sentences being tossed about, do
we really have that many cold blooded killers walking amongst us in the Den?

Nobody growing is doing any crime, its the gov doing the crime, why let them lock you down for something you shouldnt be in jail for..
Yes, I know how folks like to live in a fantasy world of non-social compliance.
The hard reality is, it's on the books because the majority of people ALLOW it to continue being a crime.
Personally, I think it is quite cowardly to run and hide rather than walking in to court and pleading your case before a jury.
I wish the reality was that this plant was not deemed illegal to grow.
Unfortunately, even the OP lays it out that it is a crime today.
So dealing in reality and facts, if your 'business model' is such that it is viewed as a crime, even by a jury of your peers, don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.

Hold up- to clarify, you're suggesting it's cowardly to run from tyrannical government who want to effectively end your life under the pretense of standing up for what you believe in?
I'm going to assume I misunderstood your perspective. If I did, sorry, it's late here.
I guess we just have a fundamental disagreement on what it means to be a coward.Why would you allow the government to get away with this unfair trial and conviction?
Seriously, why run away when standing up for your rights could lead to opening the door for others.
Maybe I am not understanding the original question.
Are we talking about someone simply growing for themselves or, someone who clandestine is growing to supply the black market and get rich off their enterprise?
If you are growing for self-consumption, I say go before a jury and plead your case.
If on the other-hand, you entered in to this situation because you knowingly operated a criminal enterprise, man up, grow some balls and do the time.
I am sorry to say, I violate my states medical marijuana laws every day since those who wrote this law didn't stipulate the 12 plants I am allowed should be sexually mature. As it is, if I pop 13 seeds and all crack, I am suppose to kill the thirteenth seed automatically or be found in violation.
If that were the charge against me, I would relish a jury trial.
Why the folks writing these laws didn't stipulate 'sexually mature' plant counts, I'll never know.
Now before 'some' go around accusing me of wanting people to go to prison for growing this plant, let me say unequivocally that I do not want or believe anyone should go to prison from growing this plant for self-consumption.
You know going in that growing for profit is a crime, right?
So why be a coward when it comes time to pay the piper ?
I guess we just have a fundamental disagreement on what it means to be a coward.
where im at growing for profit or just for use doesnt matter
Going to prison while foregoing the option of fleeing because a broken justice system convicted you(or would convict you) of a so-called crime does not make you brave, it makes you functionally retarded.The definition I am using is, a person who shrinks from or avoids danger, pain, or difficulty
So a coward may be one with his tail hidden between his legs or one who turns tail and runs like a rabbit, with his tail showing.

Why don't you just go martyr yourself right now. Go turn yourself in to your local authorities. Why wouldn't you? Face the music. Are you some kind of a coward?
He means if you got busted for a grow & are looking at 20 to life you must have talked your way into some deep shit, rather than talk your way out of it. (dont mean to be nosey but how do are you looking at 20 to life for growing?I'm not sure what you mean.
Thanks to "three strikes" laws in several states, many are doing life on drug and/or other nonviolent felonies.
