IF you know that it is a marijuana farm, and if the work you are doing is to help or enable growing marijuana or fulfilling/processing orders (e.g. wiring in grow lights), then yes: in that case, because you know there is a criminal activity and you do something which helps them break the law, you could be considered an accomplice. So doing wiring in a marijuana greenhouse--very bad idea. Putting a light fixture in a bedroom of the home of the marijuana farmers--should not be an issue.
