i was wondering what the laws of growing marijuana in massachusetts are someone told me growing 3 plants or under is just a misdemeanor and you can only get a warning however i doubt thats accurate.
[h=2]Cultivation and Sale[/h]It is illegal to knowingly cultivate marijuana plants or to sell marijuana in Massachusetts. Violations involving 50 or fewer pounds of marijuana are penalized according to whether the violation is a first or a subsequent offense. Amounts greater than 50 pounds are treated as trafficking crimes, and punished according to the guidelines described in the next section. (Mass. Gen. Laws Ann. § 32C.)
First offense. Penalties for a first offense include a fine of up between $500 and $5,000, up to two years in prison, or both.
Second or subsequent offense. For second offenses, the defendant will face a fine between $1,000 and $10,000, between one and two and a half years in prison, or both.
