Home cultivation is legal across Plymouth County. An adult 21 or older may grow up to 6 marijuana plants for personal use under MGL c.94G §7, capped at 12 plants per household regardless of how many adults live there.
State law, MGL c.94G §7, lets any adult 21 or older cultivate marijuana at their primary residence for personal use, up to 6 plants per person and no more than 12 plants on the premises at once even when several adults share the home. Plants must be kept in a locked area not visible from a public place without binoculars or aircraft. No county rule adds to or subtracts from this, and towns cannot ban the personal home grow the statute allows, though they regulate commercial cultivation separately. Landlords may still prohibit growing in a lease.
Growing more than 6 plants per adult or 12 per household, or leaving plants unsecured or visible from the street, forfeits the legal protection and exposes the grower to civil or criminal marijuana penalties.
