Details

Possession of 20 grams or less of marijuana is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Possession of greater than 20 grams of marijuana is a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

The delivery of 20 grams or less of marijuana for no consideration is a misdemeanor and is punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Sale, delivery or cultivation of any other amount up to 25 pounds is a felony and punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

Sale, delivery or cultivation of greater than 25 pounds is considered trafficking, and all trafficking offenses have mandatory minimum sentences. For less than 2,000 pounds or less than 2,000 plants, there is a mandatory minimum sentence of three years and a fine of $25,000. For less than 10,000 pounds or less than 10,000 plants there is a mandatory minimum sentence of seven years and a fine of $50,000. For 10,000 pounds or 10,000 plants or greater, the mandatory minimum sentence is 15 years in prison and a fine of $200,000.

Any sale or delivery occurring within 1,000 feet of a school, college, public park, public housing, daycare center, or church is punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a fine of $10,000.

The possession of paraphernalia is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

Conviction of a drug related offense also requires suspension of the offender's driver's license for at least six months but not longer than two years.

Mandatory minimum sentence: When someone is convicted of an offense punishable by a mandatory minimum sentence, the judge must sentence the defendant to the mandatory minimum sentence or to a higher sentence. The judge has no power to sentence the defendant to less time than the mandatory minimum. A prisoner serving an MMS for a federal offense and for most state offenses will not be eligible for parole. Even peaceful marijuana smokers sentenced to "life MMS" must serve a life sentence with no chance of parole.

I'm in Fla too and as long as your aren't careless and take the necessary precautions to avoid discovery, you'll be ok. Never tell anyone, not even your best friend what you are up to.

Hearmenow is 100% correct.

Do it....but tell no one. Hide em AWAY from elctric meters/gas meters..etc...and from prying eyes. Build a small opaque enclosure if you must...like a 3 x 3 cube....and stake it down to the ground. At least folks can't SEE what's in it if that is a concern at all to you.

And in FLA...your season is damn near endless. If you plant now you will have TREES to hide...so I would wait...starrt em indoors...and put emm outside in August. They will stay SMALL....and less detectable...and they WILL bud. If they get too tall...bend em over (LST training) and run em along the ground like a vine. You'll ROCK down there if you can keep the bugs off em.

If you're not having wild parties...dealing...acting out...bein a kid...etc...the cops aren't gonna come around. (have you seen em lookin in yer yard lately?)

Just do it...cover em if yer noided...and ACT NORMAL. Most folks bring on suspicion by doin WEIRD shit. You have the right to grow veggies...and this is just another veggie...er...a..sort of!

good luck

In my yard, I can probably hide about 3 or 4 plants by blending them in with other plants. We have landscapers who come every couple of weeks, so we take them in when they are here. Just be smart about what you do and do not take any unnecessary risks.
