I have a good friend of mine, who was offered an opportunity to grow 70 plants , paying for nothing, but recieving 30 percent of profit... I told him it's the worst idea ever, but I think the idea of so much money is all he can think about... Can you guys tell me what the penalty would be...worst and best scenarios? I want him to see what kind of trouble he could get in before he makes this decision...it could jeopordise his wife and 2 children too right? Help me please...

here are two California Health and Safety codes.
11358. Every person who plants, cultivates, harvests, dries, or processes any marijuana or any part thereof, except as otherwise provided by law, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison.
11359. Every person who possesses for sale any marijuana, except as otherwise provided by law, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison.
As you can see by the punishment of state prison, it means the crime is a felony. This could severely affect his wife and kids.

If he was just growing it for his personal use it wouldn't be THAT big of a deal. But because he is growing such a large amount, it would most certainly be a felony, which, as I'm sure you know, carries heavy penalties.

That would be. Possesion, Possion with intent to traffic/Cultivation with intent and on and on.
Each would be a felony and time in the "Don't drop the soap zone" followed by parole.
Smoke em while you can.

He would be going to jail for a long time if caught.
