A 40-year-old Le Roy resident has been arrested, accused of growing marijuana without a license, which is a misdemeanor under York State Public Health Law.
Jose A. Martinez Jr., was also charged with criminal possession of marijuana, 5th, and criminal possession of a controlled substance, 7th.
While Title 7, Section 3382 of NYS Health Law makes it a crime to grow cannabis without a license, a Google search finds no provision in New York for obtaining a license.
Martinez was issued appearance tickets for Town of Le Roy Court and released following his arrest.
The bust came following an investigation by the Local Drug Task Force along with Le Roy Police, leading to the execution of a search warrant in the Village of Le Roy at the residence of Martinez on March 11.
Martinez was allegedly found in possession of a quantity of marijuana, a quantity of Darvocet and Ambien along with six marijuana plants.
UPDATE: I did find a reference on the NORML site that notes that the DEA has the ability to license -- though they never do -- farmers to grow hemp.
UPDATE: Article 33, Title 7 is the Controlled Substance Act, and it does contain provisions for licensing the manufacture and distribution of controlled substances. That seems to be the sections that apply here.
If they would just legalize
If they would just legalize Hemp to be Farmed... It can be used for paper, Clothing, Fuel, etc & is so easy to replenish...

The below listed website will be able to inform people who wish to educate themselves on the benefits of industrial Hemp.
The U.S. government would have you believe that Hemp can not be grown with out THC. However, Hemp has been bio engineered in other countries to limit the amount of THC to a level that would require someone to smoke some where in the neighborhood of an acre of Hemp to produce any effect.
Science is a beautiful thing.

Hemp will also grow where
Hemp will also grow where every other crop can't. Marijuana crops can't be hidden in with hemp because the hemp will cross pollinate the marijuana and destroy the desired "seed free" quality.
Marijuana being illegal isn't about whether it's bad for you or not. It's about the money it nets law enforcement as George already pointed out. Many laws aren't passed to protect anyone. They're passed in the interest of those who are in power and "that aint us."
From the king of common sense, lets see what George Carlin has to say about your rights and privileges (Uncensored..it IS George Carlin).

Pot being illegal creates
Pot being illegal creates more jobs than the GCEDC could ever hope for, and those jobs are retained because marijuana can be detected in ones urine for up to 30 days. Look at all those who benefit, prison workers, probation, rehabs, drug counselors, substance abuse programs, parole officers, sheriff deputies, city cops, dea,etc., etc., etc,.And lets not forget the dealers.

"a good lawyer can get a sodomy charge reduced to following too close."
That's is so "spot-on." As long as you play by the system's rules and give your money to the right people, you'll be free to give them MORE money in the future.
Frank, fair enough. Those who bring it in by the ton do stand to make the most profit. Anyone selling at street level just hopes to sell an ounce so they can have their own bag for free.
