Marijuana cultivation is a serious felony in Colorado that carries sentences to state or federal prison. A person will be charged with marijuana cultivation for growing a single marijuana plant or operating an elaborate marijuana growing operation. Despite recent Colorado laws regarding medical marijuana use, the cultivation or distribution of marijuana is a top priority for police task forces across the state, and is vigorously prosecuted by state and federal authorities.
Marijuana grow-house cases involve the private residential cultivation of marijuana. Both federal and state agents use many methods to search for evidence of marijuana grow houses, such thermal imaging surveillance, drug sniffing dogs, trash searches, and reviews of public utility bills. Some of these law enforcement tactics may violate constitutional privacy rights. An experienced criminal defense attorney from The Tiftickjian Law Firm, P.C. can attack illegal searches and seizures as part of representing a client charged with marijuana cultivation.
A conviction for cultivation or distribution of marijuana, with no aggravating factors, could carry up to a six year prison sentence in Colorado. This sentence could be much higher depending on circumstances such as the weight of marijuana plants, whether the activity is near a school or public housing development, or if the marijuana was transferred to a minor.
