Nowhere. That still counts as possession.

I've heard that ALASKA has some progressive lenient laws on this subject. But only for personal consumption!
Oh whoops, that law was struck down last year!

I was thinking about several years ago:
Associated Press; August 27, 2004 ...... (1975 to 2004!!!!)
by Matt Volz
ANCHORAGE, AK - Police cannot execute a search warrant in a person's home for possession of less than 4 ounces of marijuana, the Alaska Court of Appeals ruled Friday.
The state Supreme Court in 1975 ruled that an adult's rights to limited marijuana possession was protected under the state constitution's privacy provisions.

Oregon and California are the only 2 states I know of that have some laws protecting cannabis growers/users
I'd have to wiki it :)
but, as stated above ... there is a federal law that prohibits use, and it supersedes the state law
ADD: by the way ... there are people that smoke 'legal' federal marijuana (somewhere the federal govt must produce it) ... 13 to be exact, there were grandfathered in when Nixon criminalized medical marijuana in the late 60's ... you can learn about them in a documentry on showtime called "in pot we trust" ... they are the only Americans who can legally smoke weed at a federal level

It's not legal to grow anywhere. It may be decriminalized in places, but that usually only applies to possession of small amounts, not cultivation. I've read that what you do in your house in Alaska is your own business, and they don't prosecute for less than 25 plants. Certain countys in California issue prescriptions which allow people to grow for medicinal purposes, but this is not state wide. No matter what state you are in, no matter what the local opinions on marijuana, it's still illegal on the federal level and they can come in and bust you at anytime or anywhere.

In many states possessing under an ounce of cannabis is either and infraction of misdemeanor. basically you pay a fine. Growing even a small amount is a felony in every state including California.
Having over a certain amount of plants (varies from place to place) will get you some serious mandatory prison time. You could also loose your property.

There are state laws and there are federal laws. In some states with medical marijuana laws, it's legal to grow for personal use; however, it's against federal law to do so. Ain't government fun?

At the Governments secret garden.
I know a women in Okla-cOmA that had several plants and this was her second time getting caught. The Judge gave her 5 years, but she didn't think that was fair and the case went to trial. Her peers gave her 15 years, and her house and vehicles are now with someone else, auctioned off........sad but a true story.

No place. The federal government regulates the all commerce related to drugs, including the "cultivation" and "manufacture" of them. You can get a license to grow, I believe, as part of a scientific research study, but the requirements are very strict.

According to the Federal law, Nowhere. But some states have all but decriminalized it.

And why would you be "just growing" marijuana?
