When calculating the level of risk you have to look at the punishment you can expect, as well as the likelihood that your grow will be discovered.
In my state growing 5 or less mj plants is a misdemeanor.
More then 5 plants or any amount of myc or mushrooms is a felony.
You will have to check your state laws to be sure of what you can expect.

Remember. No matter what precautions you take, shit happens. A number of grow opps have been found because of fires. Domestic investigations. nosy landlords or relatives. Wrong address.
I know of one person that got caught growing weed when cops showed up with a warrant for an exroomate. That roommate had moved out over a year before. He tried to get off with illegal search since the guy moved out. His roommates name was still on the lease so the cops were able to use that warrant, and make the charges stick.

i didn't think growing pot would be the same charge as meth and heroin, my uncle got 25 years for meth there was no drugs found he was narced on and they had a picture of him outside a lab where only glass ware and solvents where found, so weight don't matter all the time, if he pled guilty he would be out in under 5 years though. what would be the best way to find out for sure what the jail time would be, call the court or lawyer in your area?

the penalties for getting busted are going to matter on a lot of factors other than which one of these two you're growing. i don't think you can say that one is worse than the other if you get nailed.

growing mushrooms might be looked upon less favorably than pot in some places, but i doubt it's a big difference. any difference is greatly outweighed by the much greater bust risk that pot growing presents. cannabis plants are larger, have a longer growing cycle, require large quantities of light, have a distinct odor and a distinct appearance.

the smallest pot grow i can imagine would need something at least the size of a small closet and would need lights and fans. forget keeping it a secret from anyone who enters whatever room the closet happens to be in. that's a small grow. a decent sized one would require an entire room or outdoor garden, and require a large amount of electricity and heat and odor dissipation.

the smallest mushroom grow (a petri dish would suffice, but let's be reasonable) is maybe the size of a gallon milk jug. a moderate grow would be the size of something like a foot locker. it requires only periodic light and air movement, doesn't have a strong smell, and can be securely locked away in a concealed area without running electrical wires or air exhausts from it.

mushroom growing is MUCH more low key.

Exceptional points! The risk with mushrooms is higher, but the odds of getting caught at all are greatly minimized. A fair trade under the current legal circumstances.

Think about it like this, is your average, local joe going to know what your growing if they do see/find it? Is said joe going to report you if they think your some mycology nerd brushing up? IF they see a pot plant, however, I gaurantee the average joe will know what one of those is. Besides, you can be much more secretive with a cooler full of shrooms, atleast thats the way it seems.

Not to mention that you could deny the actual species of the shrooms and they would have to pay out the butt to hire a real mycologist to tell them for sure, or the case would have to go out the window. So for a small amount, I'm pretty sure you'd get a slap on the wrist. Distribution seems to be what they take most seriously. Make sure your atleast 500ft from a school and arent selling thejm to anyone, then you should be alright with the shrooms.

Growing and dealing don't mix.

Neither does growing and loud parties.

Aside from smell, you have nothing to worry about unless you tell anybody.

If you keep it on the down low, correctly conceal the smell, your "legal risk" goes down dramatically since you never run the risk of transporting or dealing with dealers.

The flip side is legal punishment for cultivation far exceeds punishment for simple possession. Just don't be a dumbass.

Small scale cultivation in New Mexico is only punishable under possession charges.

States can pass any laws they want.
I lived in Idaho....they did not like me selling spores.....
So, they made them illegal..also with the same penalty as herion possesion.

Do they think you are cultivating?
There is nothing in spores you can get high on.
So....if you have possesion of nitric or sulfuric acid, are you thought of as trying to make nitroglycerin?

Many household chemicals can be used to make many compounds.

Is mere possesion conspicacy?
In Idaho, look at what you face for simply having in your house or possesion something that has nothing to show what your intent is.

Does ammonium nitrate..a fertiliser mean you are making a bomb?

All our rights are being taken away...

I could talk about many things...
Soon, I may not be allowed to....
