It's my understanding that if you get caught growing Marijuana in the states that they can sieze?

They can seize anything related to the illegal operation through federal asset forfeiture, but there is a minimum amount.

You will not lose your house over one plant.

Before the seize anything, they need to prove it was either used in the illegal activity, or purchased with proceeds from the activity.

Asset forfieture. A wonderful law. Bottom line, YOU need to prove how you earned the money to buy what you have (home, car, boat etc) Many drug dealers can't. They also consider any property, autos, homes etc used as part of the crime. Bottom line, you used your home, car, property etc to commit a crime, so it is subject to siezure as a tool of the crime (kind of like how they keep you gun, legal or not, after you rob a bank...its part of the crime)

All things people should think about BEFORE deciding to do crime, not cry about afterwards.

If you want to take the chance for one plant---Good Luck. Florida prison is full of convicts for the silly weed...

if you are cultivating marijuana, they can take everything you own.
