What Is Involved in Cultivation?
You could end up in prison if you do not have a prescription for medical marijuana, even if you are the primary caregiver for someone who does and are found to be cultivating plants.
Doing any of the following would be illegal:
- Planting
- Cultivating
- Harvesting
- Drying
- Processing
- Trafficking
Any of these acts done with cocaine, heroin, and many other drugs is also illegal and can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the circumstances of the case.
Penalties for marijuana cultivation in Orange County can result in 5 years in jail for cultivation of less than 50 plants and at least 5 years in jail for 100 plants or more. The manufacturing of other drugs and narcotics is a felony that comes with up to 7 years in jail. This sentence can be increased, however, if children were present at the location, if there is a history of drug-related activity, large quantities of drugs are being manufactured, or if someone is severely injured or died while drugs were manufactured.
