Pennsylvannia plant #s

[dert]

Hey everybody.

A friend is in PA and couldn't figure out if there were any plant number statutes. The NORML website says nothing about plant numbers, just total weight (i.e., less or more than 30g, less or more than 100 lb).

Does anybody have any info on this, or know where it might be found? Seems to me, that if it is weight based only, as long as it is under fed limits he could grow as many plants as he liked with no increased risk? He is currently debating dwc tress or ebb and flo SOG.

Thanks!

hey dert, i doubt it's gonna matter unless he's over 99 plants....then it's a federal thing.

it's just what NORML says it is cause growing ANY plants is illegal in PA.

always keep it under a hundred no matter what....that includes moms, clones and all.

yes, it is illegal to grow any amount of plants in PA. Now depending on where your friend is located will depend on how LEO deals with your friend.
a larger metropolitan area such as Pitt or Phila, it's probably not a big deal, although he will still be arrested.
1 problem with PA is the number of small little podunk cities, bouroughs and townships that have 4 - 15 cops on the force. when they catch someone with 3 plants, it's a huge deal, all over the papers about how they busted a major distributer.

also in PA they have individual county task forces and then the attorney generals office funds all of those little municipalities individual task forces against narcotics. The atty. general also funds all of the fly-overs with national guard helocopters in the late summer and early autumn.

PA is not a good state to grow in. perhaps penalty wise it's not one of the worst, but in respect to busting you for just a couple of plants, it's a bad state.

Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like a pretty bad scene in general. He is in a bigger town so hopefully will slip between the cracks.

Wow, mandatory huh? That is rough. Do you know if the 1 and 3 year sentences are mandatory as well?

That makes a very strong case for growin trees in low numbers.

[monkey5]

dert, im fairly sure about the 1 and 3 year sentences being mandatory,....and they would like to keep things tougher still yet!!! like i said to ya-scrog for your personal here only --pa.. is crazy!!!! a seed that GOD put here for our use and enjoyment....monkey5
