Growing cannabis at home is illegal in Davenport. Iowa has no recreational or plant-based medical marijuana program, and its narrow Medical Cannabidiol Act does not permit patients to cultivate. Any cannabis plants can bring criminal charges under state law.
Iowa prohibits cannabis cultivation of any kind, and Davenport has no local ordinance permitting home grows — the state prohibition controls. The state has no recreational marijuana and no conventional medical-marijuana program, only the Medical Cannabidiol Act (Iowa Code Ch. 124E), which lets registered patients buy low-THC cannabidiol products (capped at 4.5 grams of THC per 90 days) from a handful of state-licensed dispensaries. Home cultivation is not authorized under that program. Manufacturing marijuana, including growing plants, is a criminal offense under Iowa Code Sec. 124.401.
Manufacturing marijuana, including cultivating plants, is a crime under Iowa Code Sec. 124.401, prosecuted by the county attorney; penalties escalate with plant count and can include felony charges, fines, and imprisonment.
