Texas is a very influential state for many reasons. It’s large. It borders Mexico, and traditionally it is quite conservative. This includes their drug policy. Frankly speaking, Texas is pretty hard on marijuana. Growing marijuana in Texas is a felony and possession of even the smallest amount is a misdemeanor, hence there is no medical marijuana program.
Growing Marijuana In Texas
If you are considering growing weed in Texas, keep your grow small and discrete. Following these simple steps could reduce your chances of getting in a lot of trouble, and, may even keep you from getting in any trouble at all.
Texas Marijuana laws
There is a saying that everything is bigger in Texas, but when it comes to growing weed in Texas, it does not apply. I say this because they do not have cultivation laws- only possession laws. This means that if arrested for growing marijuana, the charge will be based only on the amount of marijuana grown. While small amounts is a misdemeanor, anything greater than 4 ounces is considered a felony. Check the difference at this link here.

Growing Marijuana in Texas
Marijuana cultivation is considered marijuana possession and Texas has strict laws on possession. If you want to stay out of jail, you need to make sure no one knows you possess marijuana. The best way to do that is by creating a discrete grow room for cultivating your plants. There is detailed advice on how to do this in the free Marijuana Grow Bible. In it, Robert shares some tips on growing discretely that he’s learned throughout the years.
