Drug Cultivation & Manufacturing
Drug cultivation and manufacturing is defined two ways:
- growing, producing and possessing plants and other naturally occurring elements - such as cannabis seeds and marijuana plants - used to make illegal controlled substances
- producing illegal controlled substances that require chemicals and laboratory equipment to produce, such as cocaine, methamphetamine, LSD and ecstasy or MDMA

Drug Cultivation & Manufacturing Charges
Charges for drug cultivation and manufacturing can be made even if no drugs were found during the execution of a lawful warrant. Simply having the means to make certain drugs, such as certain "precursor chemicals", can result in drug manufacturing charges.
Likewise, simply having the peripheral elements needed to grow marijuana, such as cannabis seeds, high-power lamps or marijuana plant remnants, can lead to charges of drug cultivation.
