Adults 21+ may grow up to 6 cannabis plants at home in Carlsbad under California Proposition 64 (AUMA). Plants must be in a locked, enclosed space not visible from public view.
California Proposition 64 (Adult Use of Marijuana Act) permits adults 21 and older to cultivate up to 6 cannabis plants at a private residence. Plants must be kept in a locked space and not visible from the street or public areas. Carlsbad may not have enacted additional local restrictions beyond state law. Landlords may prohibit cannabis cultivation by tenants. Indoor cultivation requires attention to fire safety, electrical load, ventilation, and mold prevention. Local zoning does not allow commercial cannabis cultivation in residential zones.
Cultivation of more than 6 plants is a state criminal offense. Visible plants may result in code enforcement action.
