Answer

Dear Morris,

 

It is legal to grow up to 1/10th acre for personal use. It is illegal to crow it for commercial purposes. Growing more than 1/10th acre is considered commercial; and so is selling it even to family and friends. You can share, but you can not sell.

 

It is regulated by the interstate commerce laws.
