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.

Has everyone forgotten the fact that voters in Pima County voters have made it clear that they aprove of an individual growing a couple marijuana plants for personal use! So why is it still illegal?!! More to the point--> Why vote if it doesn't matter?!!!!
