Legal advice about marijuana ?

I have a friend who is under the thumb of an abusive husband who is unemployed and grows pot at their home. He does not sell it but just uses it for himself, but he grows a lot of it. She has tried to leave him but he ends up not leaving them alone and making them miserable until she lets him back. She wants to turn him into the police for the pot so he will go to jail and they will be rid of him, but she has two kids and does not want to get in trouble because the drugs are at her house too...does anyone know what will happen to her if she turns him in? Will she get in trouble legally too? Legal advice about marijuana ?
she will probably be charged with the same crime as himself, what she needs to do is first go down and get temp custody of the kids and then leave him, once she is moved out she has a better chance, but chances are if he is arrested for the pot he could turn over on other druggies and get a lighter sentence or a slap on the hand. Most likely if she reports him he will take her down with him.Legal advice about marijuana ?
Here's the solution:





1) Put the kids somewhere safe - with a friend, relative, or even a women's shelter if the guy is that danegrous.





2) Call cops when hubby is away, report pot.





3) Claim exemption as 'innocent spouse' - this is a legitimate defense but should be coordinated with an attorney before the report is made.





4) File extended complaint - not only pot but threatening, harassment, and domestic violence.





5) Hire a bodyguard until the bastard is safely put away.
She may already be guilty of aiding %26amp; abetting, accessory, as well as conspiracy. So it would be in the absolute best interest of her and her children to turn in her husband. If the police come in from someone else turning them in, she is going to be just as much to blame. I have never heard of a defense of ';I was going to turn him in, but didn't know when'; actually holding up in court. If the husband admits to being the only one responsible, she will be off the hook. If she can not provide evidence that she was not involved, she may be just as much at fault. I do not know what the drug laws are like in your state, and I'm not sure if growing marijuana is considered manufacturing, but chances are she might lose her children, most likely will lose her house, and be charged criminally if they get busted some other way.
