- Thread starter yadayada

It would all depend on the charges against you, and the penalties those charges carry if convicted.

well if the FEDS are after you then odds are they got you for something OTHER THAN being a med patient and what COULD happen would be whatever the current federal laws are on marijuana whether they have you trafficking, possession, intent to sell, growing.
I don't care WHAT the new laws say, when the feds knock down your door you are fucked whether you think you are or not and odds are it isn't due to some little 600w grow.

United States Sentencing Guidelines are somewhat complicated. Under the USSG, your sentence is determined by the offense level and your criminal history level. There's a chart that's like the chart where you find the mileage between cities in an atlas. Where the offense level and criminal history level meet - that is your sentencing range. As long as we're talking about what this forum is about, depending on the person's criminal history and the weight or number of plants, they may be eligible to be "safety valved" and receive probation. It's best to stay under 100 plants for fed purposes.
Also, there's a couple of U.S. Supreme Court decisions that state the USSG are not mandatory and are not even reasonable.
Like I said, it can get very complicated. A lot depends on what the fed judges in your district do and if there's a plea bargain or not.

"Sanctioned suppliers" is the operative word in your article. You can go to Federal prison for weed just as easily today as you could before you read that article. There is a Federal guideline in the second post of this other thread I will pull up.
The Feds won't get out of bed for less than 100 lbs unless you're an outspoken advocate of policy change. There's nobody getting prosecuted by the Feds for a few ounces or plants. Get caught with shit in an airport and they throw it to the locals despite the nonsense you read.
Any legit CA medical patient isn't even going to be looked at by the Feds for prosecution because he just won't have enough to get them interested.

Fed involvement is fairly unpredictable. What will always get the DEA involved are:
- Organized crime involvement
- transactions crossing state lines
When it comes to local/state violations, they will get involved if it's a high profile case, large scale medical grow, and/or if there are a lot of assets to seize.
Or if you somehow piss someone off and the local DA decides to pass the case to the DEA and the DEA prosecutor decides to pick it up.
If you're within your local/state limits, odds of DEA involvement are minimal.

yea, feds'll do whatever the fuck they want, that's the joy of the feds. Ultimately all you can do is hope that you're compliant with everything and under the new AG directives won't actually be prosecuted. Fuck the legal climate in this country, it takes 2 seconds to fuck shit up and 200 years to set it right again.
