I very much doubt that the Federal Sentencing Guidelines have much to do with how a Maryland court would determine the weight of marijuana seized, even assuming that what you have read is correct.  The whole point of having a set "weight" of 100 grams per plant is to avoid having to weigh the plants in the first place.If you are looking at charges that depend on details like this, for over or under 50 pounds of marijuana, you are in serious trouble either way.  You need to have an experienced criminal defense attorney;  if you are not willing to trust his or her judgment or advice, if you have one, you need to change lawyers and you need to do that quickly.  One place you can look for counsel is our website, http://attorneypages.com
