In Kosrae State v. Winfield Paulino, the State Court denies suppression of two marijuana plants after an officer saw one from a road and police obtained a warrant. The court applies possession section 13.531 and explains that weight determines the penalty category rather than whether possession is an offence. This suppression ruling does not establish a usual sentence or an exemption for a small home grow.[1]
