Home cultivation of marijuana is a crime in Cheyenne because Wyo. Stat. 35-7-1031 prohibits manufacturing the drug, with no medical or personal-use exception, and no Cheyenne ordinance can override the state ban.
Wyoming has not authorized any home-grow program for THC marijuana. Wyo. Stat. 35-7-1031 makes manufacturing a controlled substance a felony, with severity scaling by plant count and intent. Even small backyard or closet grows expose Cheyenne residents to felony charges, asset forfeiture risk, and federal exposure. Hobby cultivation of industrial hemp likewise is restricted: WY hemp licensing through the Department of Agriculture covers registered commercial growers, and personal hemp grows are not freely allowed. Cheyenne municipal code adds no permissive overlay; landlords typically also forbid cultivation through lease terms.
Detection through energy use anomalies, odor complaints, or plain-view discovery during code inspections triggers criminal referral, with felony exposure and potential property forfeiture under WY drug law.
