5. NY law

Growing cannabis is a class A misdemeanor and is punishable by up to 1 year of imprisonment and/or a fine of up to $1000.

*While technically cultivation of any amount of marijuana is a misdemeanor, a person who cultivates marijuana is also "possessing" marijuana under current case law. Parmeter v. Feinberg affirms the state's ability to charge a person with the crime of "cultivation" and "possession" any time a person is caught growing marijuana. This means the more marijuana that a person cultivates the more severe the degree of possession that the state can charge."
