Production is typically the most serious of the offences here. Where possession may draw a caution or a fine, growing is charged as production or manufacture, and sentences are measured in years. Quantity, equipment and anything that reads as supply all make it worse. This entry does not separately track cultivation. Read the instrument named below and a local source before you act.
Spores
