Marijuana Cultivation: State vs. Federal Laws

Although state and federal drug manufacturing laws are usually similar, marijuana is an exception. When it comes to charges and sentencing, the federal government treats growing marijuana similarly to the manufacturing of other Schedule I drugs, but state legalization efforts are generally left alone under a "hands-off" policy.

According to federal law, growing less than 50 marijuana plants can lead to a prison sentence of up to five years. However, cultivating 1,000 or more plants may result in a possible life sentence. Even if individuals are living in states where medical or recreational use of marijuana is allowed, they are still subject to federal enforcement. It's unclear how federal laws will be enforced in these states.

Out of the two states that legalized recreational use of marijuana, only Colorado permits individuals who are not using the plant for medical purposes to grow up to six marijuana plants. The rules on cultivation of marijuana plants vary among states that have legalized medical marijuana, with some states such as Hawaii permitting approved patients to cultivate up to seven plants, while in other states such as Connecticut, patients are not permitted to grow marijuana.
