California Proposition 64 allows adults 21+ to grow up to 6 cannabis plants per residence for personal use. Plants must be in a locked space not visible from public areas. San Diego County follows state law and does not impose additional restrictions on personal cultivation.
Under California's Adult Use of Marijuana Act (Proposition 64, Health & Safety Code §11362.2), adults 21 and older may cultivate up to 6 living cannabis plants per residence for personal use. Plants must be grown in a locked space within the residence that is not visible from a public place. The 6-plant limit is per residence, not per person. Local jurisdictions may regulate but cannot completely prohibit indoor personal cultivation per state law. San Diego County does not impose additional restrictions beyond state law for personal cultivation in unincorporated areas. Commercial cultivation is not permitted without proper licensing under the County's cannabis program. Outdoor cultivation may be subject to additional restrictions regarding visibility and odor.
Exceeding 6 plants may result in criminal charges. Cultivation visible from public areas violates state law. Commercial cultivation without a license carries significant penalties.
