A 62-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of growing marijuana after several people broke into his home Wednesday night and tried to steal the illegal plants, authorities said. Police are still looking for the people who broke into the home and tied up and blindfolded the people inside. More than 60 marijuana plants were found growing around the property in the 12800 block of Magnolia Street, Garden Grove police said.

Growing marijuana in California without a valid prescription is a violation of Health and Safety Code 11358. H&S 11358 states:

“Every person who plants, cultivates, harvest, dries, or processes any marijuana or any part thereof, except as otherwise provided by law, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison”

Whether it’s one plant or sixty marijuana plants; this law applies to anyone who does not possess a prescription under California Health and Safety Code 11362.5 and the punishment is imprisonment by up to three years in prison.
