Chicago Marijuana Cultivation Attorney

ARRESTED FOR CULTIVATING MARIJUANA PLANTS? WE CAN HELP!

Although possession of a certain amount of medical marijuana is allowed in the state of Illinois (with a prescription only), cultivation of your own plants is illegal. The following penalties listed in 720 ILCS 550/8 are based on how many plants an offender is found to be growing:

• 5 plants or less: Class A misdemeanor; maximum imprisonment of 1 year
• 6 – 20 plants: Class 4 felony; imprisonment 1 – 3 years; fine of up to $25,000
• 21 – 50 plants: Class 3 felony; imprisonment 2 – 5 years; fine of up to $25,000
• 51 – 200 plants: Class 2 felony; imprisonment 3 – 7 years; fine of up to $100,000
• More than 200 plants: Class 1 felony; imprisonment 4 – 15 years; fine of up to $100,000
