A vote is expected late Wednesday, July 31, 2013 on the proposal to license growers, sellers and consumers, with a confidential registry to keep people from buying more than 40 grams a month. Anyone carrying, growing or selling pot without a license would face stiff penalties including long prison terms. (AP Photo/Matilde Campodonico, File)

Heidi Fleiss, the former madam, was busted for growing 392 marijuana plants, according to a report on Tuesday.

TMZ said that authorities raided the Nevada home of Fleiss, who was subsequently charged with marijuana possession.

Officials stumbled upon the grow-op on Aug. 7 as they were looking for another woman.

Fleiss admitted to growing the plants, but she said she was growing for a “cooperative in Las Vegas.”

TMZ reported that she does not have a license to grow marijuana.

Fleiss was not arrested, police said.
