Back in the pre legalization days, it was general knowledge that if busted, LEO will take wet weight, and charge you with that, root ball and all. To them cannabis is cannabis, and the laws generally don't address wet weight versus dry weight. Even a modest indoor four plant 1kw setup could get you charged with 8 pounds, even if its not in flower. I'm sure there is some variations in how DAs across the country handled it, because in those days this detail was largely left to their discretion.
Now here in Minnesota, we are finally legal to grow. When I initially heard the rules, the first question that came to mind was this...
1. Two pound limit of cannabis for personal use.
2. Up to four flowering plants.
The instant I cut my four plants down, I am over my two pound limit. I wouldn't be surprised if my four plants weighted more than 20 pounds wet. The law doesn't address wet vs dry weight. . Common sense would tell you that as long as the dry weight doesn't exceed 2 pounds I would not be in violation. The law doesn't address this, instead it is left to the discretion of local DAs in Minnesota. (I could be wrong here - I hope I'm wrong). This immediately came to mind when I first heard about it, and I was hoping that somewhere in the details of the law it was addressed. Apparently it's not (according to chatGPT). I'm curious if any state's legalization law addresses wet vs. dry weight, and whether roots and branch material count for weight, like they did in the old days.
