I have a medical marijuana license, but my friend who is growing two plants does not. they are about three to four feet tall. we live in California. how much trouble would he get in? by the way, he only has one misdemeanor, if that would even affect it.

does California have the three strike law? if so and if your friend has been in trouble before it could be risky
I think your buddy is fairly safe only growing 2 plants in California. With any luck it will be legal in California in the near future.
in California lol alot of trouble i think its at 36-48 months and a medical marijuana license doesn’t allow you to grow, just have it on you
In California there is no state regulation or standard of the cultivation and/or distribution of medical marijuana. California leaves the establishment of any guidelines to local jurisdictions, which can widely vary.
For example, Marin County allows up to six mature plants, and/or a half-pound dried marijuana. It’s neighbor, Sonoma County permits possession of three pounds of marijuana, and allows cultivation up to 99 plants, and physicians may recommend more for “exceptional patients.”
California state law only permits licensed residents to grow a small number of pot plants, and federal law still bans pot growing.
Cultivation:
Cultivation for any amount marijuana (exception for patients or caregivers) is a felony, punishable for 16 – 36 months in prison.
The cultivation or processing of any amount of marijuana is punishable by up to sixteen months in state prison. There is an exception to the cultivation prohibition for patients or patients’ caregivers who possess or cultivate for personal use by the patient upon approval of a physician.
Possession:
28.5 g or less = misdemeanor ($100 fine)
More than 28.5 g misdemeanor (6 months and/or $500 fine)
Possession of 28.5 grams or less of marijuana is not an arrestable offense. As long as the offender can provide sufficient identification and promises to appear in court, the officer will not arrest the offender. Upon conviction of the misdemeanor charge the offender is subject to a fine of $100. Possession of greater than 28.5 grams is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $500.
Possession of 28.5 grams or less of marijuana on school grounds when the school is open is punishable by up to 10 days in jail and a $500 fine. Possession of greater than 28.5 grams or more of marijuana in a school zone is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $500.
The laws regarding possession and cultivation of marijuana do not apply to patients or patients’ primary caregivers who possess or cultivate marijuana for the personal medical use of the patient, upon the recommendation or approval of a physician.
Your friend should get a license to cultivate marijuana for personal use, then there would be no problem.
