Answer 2

In February 2012 the criteria changed for going to prison now anything over 28 plants is prison time I grew 91 (first time grow ) and I'm looking at 1 to 3 years if I'm really lucky or if the crown prosecution has it's way 4 to 8 years growing has become a real epidemic in the last few year and this has been the only way to try and curb it my advise to anyone now thinking of growing is don't I have a family of 3 children and a wife of 11 years and I'm now about to lose it all it is by far the most stupid mistake I have made ask your self is growing a bit of weed worth losing everything you've built I'm now paying the ultimate price of losing my family
