Question: What is the penalty for growing marijuana in arizona? I am growing two small plants without the intent to sell?

Answer: Growing marijuana is a crime because the United States and Arizona both prohibit (do not allow) marijuana to be possessed, except in very rare cases where marijuana is prescribed by a doctor for a very limited medicinal purpose when someone is very ill.
The penalty for possession depends upon a number of factors which can be found in A.R.S. § 13-3405.

Marajuna is better for you than alcohal is. So why should it even be illegal in the first place. It is like medicine and the law won't stop it any way!So again....why bother.?.

Weed is highly illegal in Arizona. There is no misdemeanor possession charge from what I understand. One seed, one joint, one ounce-all carry a felony penalty I believe.
