Some people down the street were just busted the other day for growing over 200 plants in their garage. I do not think they have any prior convictions. We live in CA. I am wondering what the possible sentence could be. She was arrested and let go on $10,000 bail. There were 2 men who were busted in a truck with 30 garbage bags full of marijuana just before the police came to the house. The men were released- which seems odd to us. Here is part of the article that was written:
Officers found that the garage had been converted into a grow room, complete with lights and hydroponics, and discovered 135 small plants, 52 mature plants and 49 plants that had been harvested and hung up to dry. He said that police estimate the street value at about $26,000.
Police found that the electricity to the house came directly from power lines at the street, and bypassed the electric meter on the house.
She was arrested on suspicion of marijuana cultivation.

They could do time, or get the chance at probation. I am guessing the owner of the house will do at least a year in prison and have a long parole.
Sounds like the girl needs to start cutting a deal with detectives, and getting it put on paper, and agreed upon by the prosecutors. heh

Under California Health and Safety code, 11358(a), cultivation is subject to up to 3 years is state prison. Likely, with no record they will get probation.
Might also get charged with theft of utilities.

You cant figure out why the guys coming from your friends house with 30 bags are off the hook? Umm OK, ever heard of "tell me where you got it and I let you walk"?

I don't know----but you can add 'theft of services' to the charges, if the electric company presses charges for stealing electricity.
