A:
If you had two permits allowing for the cultivation of up to 99 plants each but were found cultivating 325 plants, you exceeded the allowable amount by 127 plants. This excess could be the reason for your misdemeanor charge and the associated fines.
The confiscation of all plants, including those within the permitted limit, may raise legal questions about whether the seizure was excessive. To address the lien on your property, it's critical to ensure that the settled amount of $16,000 is paid timely, and upon payment, ensure that the lien is properly released. It's also essential to maintain all documentation relating to your permits, the cultivation, the charges, and the settlement.
If you believe there were irregularities in how your case was handled, or if you want to challenge the actions taken against you, consider taking legal action or seeking a review of your case. It's advisable to consult with fellow attorneys knowledgeable about California's cannabis laws to understand your rights and potential remedies. Lastly, ensure you handle personal information, like phone numbers, with discretion and caution.
