Reply #4: Depends on what they want to do

[Asgaya Dihi]

Generally small amounts of anything is a State matter. Once you get over a given amount depending on the drug the Feds can step in but they don't have to. Take a pot bust for example. In Texas they charge by the weight for cultivation rather than for the number of plants, cultivation in itself isn't charged. By Federal law I think anything over 20 plants or so becomes a big deal. In theory you could be facing a 6 month Texas penalty for 25 small seedlings that don't amount to any weight or a stiff Federal mandatory minimum for it. Depends on who wants you. The law is pretty arbitrary in a number of areas such as that. Safe school zones are another.
